Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. According to the story told in the opera, who was overjoyed to meet Jesus face to face?

Answer: King Herod

After hearing so much about Jesus and his ministry, Herod said that he was overjoyed to finally meet Him face to face. This of course was sarcasm as the rest of 'King Herod's Song' reveals.

2. In "Jesus Christ Superstar", who said "Why are you obsessed with fighting? Stick to fishing from now on."

Answer: Jesus

In the Garden of Gethsemane the disciples were ready to fight to protect Jesus when the soldiers came to arrest Him but Jesus told them not to be violent.

3. During Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, what did He say would happen if everyone became quiet rather than shouting Hosanna?

Answer: The rocks and stones themselves would start to sing.

Luke 19:40 tells us that Christ declared the very stones would shout out in joy.

4. Who dreamed he had met an amazing man with a haunted, hunted look who would not answer him when he spoke to Him?

Answer: Pilate

Pilate dreamed he had met Jesus and described how He looked and how He wouldn't answer Pilate's questions.

5. In "Jesus Christ Superstar", who didn't recognize the person he/she had become the last few days and didn't know how to relate to Jesus anymore?

Answer: Mary Magdalene

She stated that she didn't know how to love him or why he moved her so much.

6. Who sang the very popular song "I Don't Know How to Love Him" as Mary Magdalene, in the original recording?

Answer: Yvonne Elliman

I don't think anyone since has ever done a rendition of the song with as much feeling as the original artist. Yvonne DiCarlo was Lily on the Munsters tv show, and Yves St.Laurent is a designer.'Ian Gillian played Jesus in the opera.

7. After Jesus was arrested, who asked him if He was the Son of God and accused Him of blasphemy?

Answer: Caiaphas the High Priest

Jesus was first taken to the High Priest's house and interrogated. Caiaphas charged him with blasphemy for claiming to be the Son of God.

8. Who washed his hands of the destruction of Jesus but feared that future generations would blame him for Jesus' death anyway?

Answer: Pilate

In "Trial Before Pilate" near the end of the opera, Pilate tried to leave himself in a position where he would not be held responsible for Jesus' death but had Him flogged to satisfy the crowd. He had dreamed that future generations would blame him for Christ's death.

Answer: Peter

Peter denied three times that he knew Jesus and then the cock crowed as Jesus had predicted would happen.

10. Who claimed he couldn't understand why Jesus let things get so out of hand, according to the opera, just before he hung himself?

Answer: Judas

Judas was consumed with guilt for his betrayal when he realized what was really going to happen to Jesus. The Bible says he hanged himself.
