Bible Note: Acts 1:18 "Falling headlong. Apparently the tree on which Judas chose to hang himself (Matt 27:5) overlooked a cliff. Likely, the rope or branch broke (or the knot slipped) and his body was shattered on the rocks below" (p. 1633, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). "Falling headlong. Matt 27:5 reports that Judas hanged himself. It appears that when the body finally fell, either because of decay or because someone cut it down, it was in a decomposed condition and so broke open in the middle. Another possibility is that 'hanged' in Matt 27:5 means 'impaled' (the Hebrew of Esther 2:23 can be translated 'impaled') and that the gruesome results of Judas's suicide are described here" (p. 1573, Zondervan NASB Study Bible, Zondervan, 1999). |
