Was Judas Iscariot from the tribe of Benjamin?

AnswerBy the time of Jesus, the tribal system had long since broken down and it is unlikely that anyone would really know what tribe they belonged to. moreover, John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) says that Judas Iscariot is probably a literary creation, based in part on the following reasoning:Judas is a variant of Judah. There were 12 disciples, just as in the Genesis account, Jacob had 12 sons. When the sons of Jacob sold Joseph into slavery, it was Judah who sought money and received 20 pieces of silver (Gen 37:26-7). The king was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver (Zech 11:14), which he hurled back into the temple, just as Judas did.Even if Judas Iscariot was a real person, he would be unlikely to have known his ancestry. If, as Bishop Spong suggests, he was not a real person, then he was certainly not from the tribe of Benjamin.


Where was Judas Iscariot buried?

A:The authors of Matthew's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles can not even agree on how Judas Iscariot died, so can hardly be expected to tell us exactly where to find his body. They both have Judas Iscariot dying a satisfyingly horrible death, although in markedly different circumstances. Matthew 27:3-5 says that Judas repented of what he had done and took the thirty pieces of silver back to the Temple and cast them down at the priests. He then went away and committed suicide. The priests spent the money on buying a field known as the potter's field. If this is the correct account, perhaps Judas was buried in the potter's field.In Acts of the Apostles, Judas was no doubt pleased to be suddenly rich, and purchased a field with the money he had received. Unfortunately for him, he fell down and died, his bowels gushing out.
