[color=#000000ost_uid0]Okay, Derek, I'm gonna go out on a limb here. It looks like most of your references and allusions (R&A™) are to the Gospel according to Matthew.

Winn: Now remember, kids, if you watch TV, you'll go straight to hell.
Bareil: Then how will they be able to see your televised broadcasts?
Winn: Well those are okay, but the rest of TV is of the devil. [/quoteost_uid0]
3:10
[quoteost_uid0]
Eblan: Hey! I know you!
Kubus: You walked with me once upon a dream?
Eblan: No, I balked at you once and made a scene.
Odo: I think I'll arrest Kubus before this becomes a musical. [/quoteost_uid0]
26:34-35, 69-75
[quoteost_uid0]
Opaka: Don't become the Kai. I'd say that more cryptically, but why?
Bareil: Won't the Prophets be better off if I'm Kai?
Winn: Yes, but they're masochists. Speaking of which, here, take this snake.
Bareil: Woohoo! And here I thought our religion didn't approve of snake handling![/quoteost_uid0]
3:7

Kubus: So what if I was a collaborator? I just wanna go home.
Kira: That right was taken from you in the First Amendment. We call it the Bill of No Rights.
Kubus: Crap. What rights do I have?
Kira: Only the right to get sanctuary granted by a Vedek.
Kubus: Hmmmm.... [/quoteost_uid0]
27:3-5 Judas' repentance
[quoteost_uid0]
Winn: Why do people think we're enemies?
Sisko: Hm. Let's think. Maybe it's because you said that joining up with the Federation made buildings spontaneously combust.
Winn: I didn't mean it like that. I was talking about what would happen to our spiritual buildings if we joined up with the spiritual Federation.
Sisko: That still doesn't make sense.
Winn: Um, sure it does. [/quoteost_uid0]
22:15-21 "Render unto Caesar" etc.
[quoteost_uid0]
Kira: Why are you associating with that tax collector?
Winn: It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
Kira: Hey! Leave Bashir out of this! [/quoteost_uid0]9:9-12 Matthew and Simon Peter(?) were both tax collectors
[quoteost_uid0]
Winn: All right, here's the deal. Kubus is going to reveal that Bareil is a collaborator.
Kira: And that's supposed to make me side with you?
Winn: Um,... yes.
Kira: Okay.[/quoteost_uid0]
26:14-16 Judas agrees to betrayal
[quoteost_uid0]
Kubus: I once saw Bek and Bareil talking to each other.
Kira: That's not evidence. You're just a wee little man making something up so you can have sanctuary, aren't you?
Kubus: Pretty much.
Winn: Well, I believe him. Go investigate, Kira.[/quoteost_uid0]
Not sure here
[quoteost_uid0]Kira: What did you and Bek talk about?
Bareil: He just asked me for a length of rope the day before he hanged himself.
Kira: And did you bring it to him with a loop on one end?
Bareil: Nope.
Kira: Well, no noose is good news.
--------------
Odo: This is where Bek hanged himself.
Kira: Why would a Bajoran religious leader hang himself on this station?
Odo: Evil must be opposed. [/quoteost_uid0]
Judas hanged himself after betrayal.
[quoteost_uid0]
Kira: So why'd you do it?
Bareil: Because I'm taking the fall for someone else.
Kira: A likely story. [/quoteost_uid0]
Jesus as substitute for Barabbas/general human sin
[quoteost_uid0]
(Kai Opaka's son rolls over in his grave at Ludicrous Speed.) [/quoteost_uid0]
Resurrection?

Apologies if this has become less coherent as I went on -- getting tired and distracted. Was I even close?[/colorost_uid0]
