How did Judas Died? (Death of Judas)


In the Bible, we can find two references concerning how did Apostle Judas die, the one that betrayed Jesus during his time.

Matthew 27:5 - So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

In this verse, it says that Judas returned the money to the temple and then he went and hanged himself.





Acts 1:18 - With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out.

In this verse, it says Judas used the money to buy a field and then he fell down with head hit the ground first (headlong) and his body burst open and intestines spilled out.



Why there are different stories concerning this? One is used the money and another is returned it. Also, if he hanged himself, according to gravity law, his legs will hit the ground first but not the head. What really actually happened to Judas?

    “Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent”
    Matthew 27:50‭-‬51

    1. Thanks for your reply, the conclusion is both Acts 1:18 and Matthew 27:5 are correct? What about one verse said he used the money and the other said he returned the money? Which one is true?
