Judas Contradiction

(1/2) > >>

Paul:
"And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself." Matthew 27:5

"...David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out." Acts 1:16-18

Hi Paul,

I think this is the same account of the death of Judas.  It seems Matthew just gave the method he used to kill himself.  But in Acts he has more of a description as to what actually happen.  So obviously Judas fell after hanging himself, however that might have happened, with the rope breaking or whatever is not mentioned.

mercy, peace and love

Paul:
What about the silver? Matthew says he threw the silver on the floor of the temple; Acts says he took the silver and purchased a field with it.

Robin:
Matthew 27:6-8

6The chief priests picked up the coins and said, "It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money." 7So they decided to use the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners. 8That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
