"And tell me - were they given a drink before being gibbeted?"

"Yes. But he - " the visitor closed his eyes - "refused to drink."

"Who did?" asked Pilate.

"I beg your pardon, hegemon!" exclaimed the visitor. "Didn't I say? Ha-Notsri!"

"Madman!" said Pilate, grimacing. A vein twitched under his left eye. "To die of sunstroke! Why refuse what the law provides for? How did he refuse?"

"He said," replied the guest, shutting his eyes again, "that he was grateful and blamed no one for taking his life.”

“Whom did he thank?" asked Pilate in a low voice.

"He did not say, hegemon."

"He didn't try to preach to the soldiers, did he?"

"No, hegemon, he was not very loquacious on this occasion. His only words were that he regarded cowardice as one of the worst human sins.”

"What made him say that?" The Procurator's voice suddenly trembled.

"I have no idea. His behavior was in any case strange, as it always has been."

"In what way strange?"

"He kept staring at individuals among the people standing around him, and always with that curiously vague smile on his face.”

"Nothing more?" asked the husky voice.

"Nothing more."”

See the Pilate Stone, an item carved from limestone with a partially intact inscription mentioning Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judea from AD 26 to 36, who condemned Jesus to death who was mentioned in the Gospels.

Sorting Jesus Christ Superstar

Happy Easter, everybody! It’s been way too long since I did one of these, but I’ve got my favorite piece of Easter media on the brain (and on the phonograph). So! Let’s Sort Jesus Christ Superstar!

A more detailed break-down of the system I’m using is right here, but the basics are these:

PRIMARY (ie MOTIVE)

BADGER ~ Loyal to the group.

SNAKE ~ Loyal to yourself and your Important People.

LION ~ Subconscious Idealist. Ideals are linked to feelings and instincts.

BIRD ~ Conscious Idealist. Ideals are linked to built systems and external facts.

SECONDARY (ie METHOD)

BADGER ~ Connect with the group. Make allies, work steadily and well. Be whatever the situation calls for. If you find a locked door, knock.

SNAKE ~ Connect with the environment. Notice things. Tell people what they want to hear. If you find a locked door, get in through the window.

BIRD ~ Collect skills, knowledge, personas, useful friends. If you find a locked door, track down the key or try to pick the lock.

LION ~ Be honest, be direct, speak your truth. Either the obstacle is going down or you are. If you find a locked door, kick it in.

Jesus Christ is very definitely a Lion secondary. He knows What Must Be Done, and he knows that What Must Be Done requires him to die, and he unflinchingly and unwaveringly keeps moving toward that end goal despite the Apostles trying to defend him and Pilate (this musical's resident Snake secondary) desperately trying to find an alternative solution, any alternative solution, that won't require Jesus to die.

For his Primary, I was leaning Lion up until we reached "Trial Before Pilate" (my favorite number in the whole musical, by the way). During his debate with Pilate, Jesus says "I search for Truth, and find that I get damned!", and that is not only a very Bird sentiment, but it's a Bird who's burning.

Judas Iscariot, by contrast, is a Bird secondary. He's Jesus's tactician, his planner. To quote "Superstar" (the number you're most likely to have heard): "Every time I look at you, I don't understand Why you let the things you did get so out of hand You'd've managed better if you'd had this planned"

Judas's primary is trickier. I'm certain it's not Snake, because even though Jesus is his best friend, he still sells Jesus out when he thinks it's necessary for the greater good. His primary is either Badger, because his main focus is on the health and safety of the community, or he's a Bird whose Truth just happens to look very Badgery. I think he's actually another Bird primary whose system is modeled strongly after Jesus's own very Badger-looking early ministry, but Jesus has that direct-line connection to God which gives him additional context for his mission of dying for the sins of the people and all that. Judas lacks this context and is growing away from Jesus because he thinks Jesus is losing his way. That growing disconnect ends up with both of them burning their primaries at least somewhat.

I think Judas also had to build a Snake secondary model as a survival tactic against the Roman occupation, and it's this model that he's drawing on when he turns Jesus in, but you can tell it's not his real secondary because it really doesn't sit well with him, even as he's doing it.

Pontius Pilate is this musical's resident Snake secondary. Caiaphas wants Jesus to die for the good of the community, Jesus wants to die because of prophecy stuff, but it's in Pilate's hands and Pilate really doesn't want to kill this guy, so he spends his whole big number trying to find an alternative, any alternative, ultimately only giving up in the face of Jesus's uncooperative and unwavering Lion secondary.

I think he's a Lion primary; he doesn't want to kill Jesus because it really feels wrong to him, but at the same time he really doesn't seem like a "for the people" Badger primary.

Mary Magdalene has a very nurturing Badger secondary for sure. I'm inclined to sort her as a Snake/Badger, if only because it's the Lover sorting; where Jesus and Judas are arguing over how best to care for their flock as a whole, Mary Magdalene is the only one who's specifically looking after Jesus the person, where everyone else is looking to Jesus as a leader, messiah, whatever.

Caiaphas, the nearest thing this musical has to a real antagonist, is definitely a Bird secondary; his primary is trickier for the same reason that Judas's was. His goal is to prevent the genocide of the Jews by not provoking the Romans, but the question is, is he a Badger looking out for his community, or some flavor of Idealist looking out for the bigger picture of the Jewish nation? It's tricky. Only thing I'm sure he's not is a Snake primary, because he definitely does have that bigger-picture focus.

Simon Zealotes only gets one number, but he’s a fairly straightforward (and dumb) Revolutionary Double Lion.

Peter and Herod aren’t there for long enough to really get a handle on, but in summary:

Jesus Christ, Bird/Lion (burned primary) Judas Iscariot, Double Bird (Badger Truth, burning primary, Snake secondary model Pontius Pilate, Lion/Snake Mary Magdalene, Snake/Badger Caiaphas, Badger/Bird Simon Zealotes, Double Lion
