Contradiction....?

How did Judas die?

(Mt.27:5) "And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself."

(Ac.1:18) "Now this man acquired a field with the reward of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his bowels gushed out."

Thoughts?

I think we have to go by what Matthew 27:5 says:

"And he threw down the pieces of silver into the temple and departed, and he went and hanged himself."

This verse describes Judas' actions after betraying Jesus, where he returns the silver pieces and takes his own life by hanging.

@LadyGrace much appreciated your answer. I do agree with you as Matthew give the cause of death and Luke does not.

@dcba9876 You are most welcome. Yes, it's a little weird how some of those verses were stated and vague. They don't really give us much information, and perhaps that's because the Lord wanted to make sure that the emphasis was placed where it needed to be placed in order to learn the lesson or to bring out special emphasis for clarity. It was a pleasure discussing these things with you. God bless you.
