When Judas “hanged himself” (archive.org/details/bibletellsmeso01wier/page/150) it was similar to a military man falling on his sword and did not involve a rope around his neck as in western culture. Judas took his own life by falling and suspending himself on a stake and the fact that “all his bowels gushed out” was because his abdomen was punctured by doing this. Judas could have chosen to remain living as one of the 12 apostles but chose not to do so as the mental anguish due to his betrayal of Jesus Christ was to him a negative too great to bear.

Judas kissed Jesus as a way to betray him to the soldiers who wanted to arrest him. The kiss was a signal to identify Jesus to the soldiers in the Garden of Gethsemane. This act ultimately led to Jesus' arrest and crucifixion.

∙ 13y agoMatthew 27:5 says that Judas threw down the silver in the Temple and went and hanged himself. No doubt Judas would have felt remorse at what he had done. The priests took the blood money and bought the potter's field, which they called the field of blood.
Acts 1:18 has a different story, that Judas bought a field with the reward of iniquity, and fell headlong, bursting asunder and all his bowels gushed out. Because of this, the field was called the field of blood. The Acts account says that he died by misadventure in the field that he bought, with no intention of killing himself.
In other words, neither Matthew nor Luke knew how Judas Iscariot died, but both wanted to have him die suffering and humiliated, and enjoy nothing from his reward. Matthew seems to have got his story from the Book of Zechariah.

∙ 14y agoThe Bible does not give us a certain answer on how Judas died, but the most likely one is in Matthew 27:5 where it says that he hung himself, but Acts 1:18 say that he fell to the ground and his guts spilled out (I'm not sure that happened!) and Mark, Luke and John say nothing regarding his death - hope that helps from Larissa xx
