Could be I remember wrong, but it seems to me that the segment you quoted was
one of the many in which Webber and Rice had some of the characters treat JC
with rather less respect than he deserved, as a way of saying that his
followers were not all equally sincere in their motives.  Another one which I
recall had the disciples get drunk and sing, "Then we'll retire and write the
Gospels so they'll still talk about us when we've died."  One of the major
themes of "Jesus Christ, Superstar" is the hypocrisy of many Christians, then
and now.
