I don't think it's about Jesus as many said here.
There are some biblical references in the names and in the days of the week, but Martin Gore likes playing with those references in most Depeche Mode's texts.
Then, if really this song is about Jesus, why is Paul mentioned? He became christian after Jesus' death, he didn't know him at all.
