Different Accounts of Judas Iscariot's Death
The accounts of Judas Iscariot's death vary among the Gospels. In Matthew, Judas hangs himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus. The high priest refuses to take back the 30 pieces of silver, leading Judas to throw them in the temple before hanging himself. The priests purchase a field called the field of blood with the silver. In Luke's account in the book of Acts, Judas buys the field before dying, but he does not hang himself. Instead, he falls headfirst and his intestines spill out, leading to the area being named the field of blood.
