* In the 1973 version, after their argument in "Everything's Alright" Jesus gently touches Judas's face and pulls back until they clasp hands in an act of mutual kindness and forgiveness.

* The 2000 version of "Heaven On Their Minds" has Judas singing directly to Jesus, and having expressions of genuine fear about what the masses will do to his best friend if they "think you've lied". Judas caresses him constantly and hugs him with utmost concern. In the beginning, Jesus even smiles a little when Judas reminds him that he is Jesus's right-hand man and has his interests at heart.
* This staging of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOBZcKyFn4w Heaven On Their Minds]] has Jesus hearing all of Judas's song. Rather than Judas approaching him, Jesus walks towards Judas and at one point attempts to reach out and comfort him. The apostles also seem to be worried about Judas when listening to him.
* Judas, in the 2012 and 2018 versions, turns away from Jesus after betraying him with a kiss. While Jesus sings, he pulls Judas in a hug, showing all is forgiven because neither of them could fight fate. When the guards move in to arrest Jesus, Judas returns the hug and holds onto him tightly. His expression is screaming instant regret and trying to protect the friend he just betrayed. The guards have to physically pull Judas off and warn him not to interfere in their arrest.
* The apostles in most versions realize that the soldiers are arresting Jesus after either waking up or recovering from the party. They take up arms in HeroicBystander mode and prepare to attack. In the 2018 version, they actually succeed in fending off the soldiers and try to free Jesus. It's only because Jesus tells them to stand down, that they must not die for him, that they reluctantly obey his orders. That makes it only sadder that he does die as they are ForcedToWatch and helpless.
* Caiaphas gives Jesus a chance to defend himself. He explains, sometimes in ApologeticAttacker mode, that this is NothingPersonal; if Jesus claims that he is the son of God then he has committed blasphemy, a serious charge. But he has a chance to deny it and walk free. It's only when Jesus refuses to say yes or no that Caiphas and Annas order the man escorted to Pilate and sentenced to death.
* In the 2018 live production, John Legend as Jesus is a CuddleBug, hugging his various followers and shaking the audience's hands when they reach out. When Judas is singing the last verse of "Heaven on Their Minds" directly to him, Jesus makes full eye contact and actually ''does'' listen. He has an apologetic look, knowing that he can't listen to Judas, due to what's to come.
