Greetings Emmaus, Actually Judas did not hang himself. Strongs tells us that hang also means to choke. So I believe a better way to read this would be Judas was all choked up. Let me explain - First in Acts 1:18 it says "Now Judas purchased a field of blood with the wages of iniquity and falling headlong he burst open and all his insides burst out" (Field of Blood) Field is personal possession Field of blood is a plot of land v. 18 – with reward he got for his wickedness (stealing throughout ministry) v. 19 People called it the field of blood Matt 27:7 calls the piece of land bought with the silver a potter’s field - 2 entirely different places Field of blood is a plot of land Mark 16:14 says that Jesus appeared to the 11 in the upper room butJohn 20 19-*24 – Thomas wasn’t there when Jesus came so Judas had to of been there since they had not chosen a replacement apostle yet. Again in Acts 1:13 it says all 12 went back to the upper room and Judas name is listed as one of them. If he would of indeed ran off and hung himself after he threw the pieces of silver back he could not of been with the 12 in the upper room. I can't remember where I read it but if I remember right hanging wasn't a form of suicide at that time. Judas died by throwing himself off a cliff on his own land which is why it was named Field of Blood. prayon |

prayon, John 20:19-24 does not say there were twelve disciples there only that disciples were there. It only says in verse 24 that Thomas, "one of the twelve" was not there. It does not say Judas was there. The Judas in Acts 1:13 is Judas (Jude), son of James, not Judas Iscariot. If you count the names there are 11. However, I agree that one can harmonize Acts and Matthew's descrition of Judas' death by using ckoked as a translation of the word also translated hang, which is why I phrased my answer the way I did. I see no mention of a cliff in Acts 1:18, just falling down, perhaps after he choked in some manner. Emmaus |

John 20:19-24 talks about the first visit Jesus made to the apostles in the upper room. Mark 16:14 also talks about the first visit Jesus made to the apostles in the upper room. John says that Thomas was not there. Mark says that he appeared to the 11. Therefore at that one visit the only one missing of the 12 was Thomas therefore Judas was there. Granted it does not say that he jumped off a cliff but he had to of fallen a good distance for his belly to burst open and his insides come out. When one falls a short distance that does not happen ---- Thank God! prayon |

I believe your hermeneutic is in error. I cannot see any reason to suppose that Mark 16:14 is refering to John 20:24, since John is the only gospel to tell us of the "doubting Thomas" incident. Rather than inserting Judas into the mix to make the 11 count in John 20:24, the gospels are more easily harmonized by seeing Mark 16:14 as referring to John 20:26 or some later event. This also is in keeping with the orthodox understanding of Judas and his behaviour, which only ought to be questioned with solid scriptural evidences. (In my humble opinion.) | ||||||

Greetings - Both passages are talking about the day that Christ rose. And when Jesus had risen early the first day of the Sabbath, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons (Mar 16:9). After that He appeared in another form to two of them, walking and going into the country (Mar 16:12) and Afterward He appeared to the Eleven as they recline (Mar 16:14) In the John passage it tals about Mary finding the empty tomb and then it says Then the same day at evening, being the first of the sabbaths(Joh 20:19). So both passages talk about the first visit of Jesus to the upper room. If they both didn't refer to the "first of the sabbaths" then it might be quite possible that Mark was talking about a later event. prayon |
