Rock songs from the Bible include the following:
- Judy Collins & Pete Seeger, Turn! Turn! Turn![1] - based on Ecclesiastes
- also recorded by The Byrds, Turn! Turn! Turn![2]
- “40” by U2[3]
- "Sympathy for the Devil", by the Rolling Stones; though it is not directly from the Bible the song (which is sung in first person; the singer identifies himself as Lucifer) mentions Pilate washing his hands of the matter and allowing Jesus to be crucified
- "Pride (In The Name of Love)", by U2, references Jonah being washed up on the beach (before finally going to Nineveh to preach as God commanded) and Jesus' betrayal by Judas Iscariot
- "Judas" by Fozzy, the singer considers himself to be just like Judas Iscariot, as he has betrayed everyone he knows
