Bible Question:
When Judas the disciple who betrayed Jesus died where did he go? Heaven or Hell? |
Bible Answer: Judas went to "his own place" (Acts 1:25). NASB Acts 1:25 "to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place." AMPLIFIED Acts 1:25 To take the place in this ministry and receive the position of an apostle, from which Judas fell away and went astray to go [where he belonged] to his own [proper] place. Matthew Henry "25. that he might go to his own place--A euphemistic or softened expression of the awful future of the traitor" (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Commentaries/JamiesonFaussetBrown). "from which Judas by transgression fell, threw himself, by deserting and betraying his Master, from the place of an apostle, of which he was unworthy, that he might go to his own place, the place of a traitor, the fittest place for him, not only to the gibbet, but to hell—this was his own place. "Note, Those that betray Christ, as they fall from the dignity of relation to him, so they fall into all misery. It is said of Balaam (Num. 24:25) that he went to his own place, that is, says one of the rabbin, he went to hell. "Dr. Whitby quotes Ignatius saying, There is appointed to every man idios topos — a proper place, which imports the same with that of God’s rendering to every man according to his works. And our Saviour had said that Judas’s own place should be such that it had been better for him that he had never been born (Mt. 26:24)—his misery such as to be worse than not being. "Judas had been a hypocrite, and hell is the proper place of such; other sinners, as inmates, have their portion with them, Mt. 24:51.
