Matthew 27. New International Version. Judas Hangs Himself. 27 Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed. 2 So they bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor. 3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with ...
The fact that Judas fell "headlong" yet "burst open in the middle" (Acts 1:18) indicates that his body was bloated when he fell, which means that he was already dead. Most likely, Judas hanged himself on a tree, and eventually the branch or the rope snapped, causing the mess described in Acts 1 above. ACTS 1:20-26 20 “For it is written in the ...

The death of Judas is described in two different passages, each presenting a slightly different account: Matthew 27:3-5- According to the Gospel of Matthew, Judas felt remorse after seeing that Jesus was condemned. He returned the thirty pieces of silver he had received for betraying Jesus to the chief priests and the elders, saying, "I have sinned...
Acts 1:18 says it was Judas who was referred to as the man who “bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open, and all his intestines spilled out.” But in Matthew 27:6-7, we see the chief priests were the true purchasers of the field. Because they used the blood money (the 30 pieces of silver), the field was indirectly purchased by Ju...
There is some controversy surrounding the accounts of how Judas died. Did he really hang himself or fall headlong? Are the two biblical accounts conflicting, or can they be reconciled? Plausible Reasons Theory 1: Some Bible scholars say the accounts don’t conflict but are two events occurring in sequence. This point of view believes Judas hung hims...
Ray Pritchard outlines several Bible verses that imply Judas went to hell: In Acts 1:25, Peter spoke of Judas who left his apostolic ministry “to go where he belongs.” Literally, the verse reads “to go to his own place.” “His own place” is hell. If that seems harsh, consider the words of Jesus in John 6:70-71when he said: “Have I not chosen you, th...
There are variant traditions about how Judas Iscariot died. According to Matthew 27:3–10, Judas felt remorse after seeing Jesus condemned to death, and he returned the silver and hanged himself. According to Acts 1:18, Judas bought a field with his silver reward and fell “headlong” in it, and “all his bowels gushed out,” implying that ...
At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas. So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?” For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him. While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: “Don ...
Why did Pilate turn into a bloody pulp a man whom he himself had declared innocent, and then showcase him to the crowd? Pilate had tried the Herod card (see My kingdom is not of this world) and then the Barabbas card, but neither had worked. So he was trying the pity card to see if something just short of killing Jesus would appease the Jews.
