The last day up to the crucifixion

  • PER342 The tragic end of Judas Iscariot

    Only Matthew reports the tragic end of Judas Iscariot. After Jesus is condemned, overwhelmed with remorse, Judas throws the thirty pieces of silver into the sanctuary of the Temple and takes his own life. The priests use this money to buy the potter’s field, called Hakeldama. This episode illustrates the irreversibility of betrayal and the despair of a man unable to accept forgiveness.

    Luke 22.61-62 (King James Version) :
    And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

Contradictions

  • CTD030 Judas's pay?

    The article analyses an apparent contradiction in the Bible concerning the use of Judas' money. The Gospels present two perspectives on responsibility for, and attribution of, the purchase of a field, emphasising that there is no genuine contradiction but a coherent account that is more symbolic than literal.

    Matthew 27.5 (King James Version) :
    And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

  • CTD031 The death of Judas?

    This article examines Judas Iscariot's death, described differently in Matthew and Acts. Although these accounts seem contradictory, reading them together shows that they complement each other. Matthew speaks of Judas' hanging, while Acts describes the fall of his body, forming a coherent account.

    Acts 1.18 (King James Version) :
    Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.

Peter's Ministry

  • ADA002 The Apostles' Conversation with Jesus

    Luke recounts Jesus' final conversation with his eleven apostles before the Ascension (Acts 1.4-8). Jesus orders them to wait in Jerusalem for baptism in the Holy Spirit, refuses to reveal the eschatological times reserved to the Father, and entrusts them with a universal mission: to be his witnesses from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. This passage provides the structural outline of the book of Acts.

    Mark 13.32 (King James Version) :
    But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
