The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica


There are variant traditions about how Judas Iscariot died. According to Matthew
27:3–10, Judas felt remorse after seeing Jesus condemned to death, and he
returned the silver and hanged himself. According to Acts 1:18, Judas bought a
field with his silver reward and fell “headlong” in it, and “all his bowels
gushed out,” implying that he threw himself down rather than that he died
accidentally.
