Matthew 27:5 is the fifth verse of the twenty-seventh chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.This verse continues the final story of Judas Iscariot.In the earlier verse Judas had regretted his decision to betray Jesus, but is met with disinterest from the Jewish leaders.
Judas Hangs Himself (verses 1–10) Jesus Before Pilate (verses 11–26) The Soldiers Mock Jesus (verses 26-31) The Crucifixion of Jesus (verses 32–44) The Death of Jesus (verses 45–56) The Burial of Jesus (verses 57–61) The Guard at the Tomb (verses 62–66). [6]
Judas was both a disciple of Jesus and one of the original twelve Apostles. Most Apostles originated from Galilee but Judas came from Judea. [5] The gospels of Matthew (26:47–50) and Mark (14:43–45) both use the Greek verb καταφιλέω, kataphiléō, which means to "kiss, caress; distinct from φιλεῖν, philein; especially of an amorous kiss."
The gospels suggest that Judas is apparently bound up with the fulfillment of God's purposes (John 13:18, John 17:12, Matthew 26:23–25, Luke 22:21–22, Matt 27:9–10, Acts 1:16, Acts 1:20), [74] yet "woe is upon him", and he would "have been better unborn" (Matthew 26:23–25). The difficulty inherent in the saying is its paradox: if Judas ...
Matthew 27:8 is the eighth verse of the twenty-seventh chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.This verse continues the final story of Judas Iscariot.In the previous verses, Judas has killed himself, but not before casting the thirty pieces of silver into the Temple.
There is a contradiction regarding the death of Judas Iscariot with the account of his death in Acts differing from the one given in Matthew. [159] In Matthew 27:3 – 8 , Judas returns the bribe he has been given for handing over Jesus, throwing the money into the temple before he hangs himself.
Judas is not mentioned again by Mark. According to Matthew 27:5, Judas hanged himself after trying to give back the money to the priests but then putting it in the Temple. According to Acts of the Apostles 1:18 Judas took his money and bought a field, where he "fell" and died, which might or might not be hanging.
It is thus possible that Judas' reversal is some time after the initial trial. By Matthew 27:8, the end of this Judas narrative, it is clear that the time being discussed is after the crucifixion. [6] From the words "when he saw that he was condemned", it has been suggested that Judas had not expected this to be the result of his actions. [7]
