"When Did Judas Hang Himself"
Dr. Gary Pangan
" ...saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, what is that to us? See thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. Matt 27:4-5 (KJV)
An Excerpt from the Book: "Whom Jesus "Jesus" Really Loved"
Jesus said, “…If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me. Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, he shall not die; but, if I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?” (John 21:22-23). This statement from Jesus indicated how He wanted Judas to remain alive and witness the greatest miracle of all time, "The Glorious Resurrection of the Son of God", as Jesus often declared and promised!
In addition, we have the unwavering Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians: “…For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures: and that He was seen of Cephas, “…then of the twelve” (1 Cor. 15:3-5 KJV).
What does “…of the twelve” mean? Paul meant that the Lord appeared to the twelve disciples, Judas still being with them (alive) after His resurrection. These are just some of the passages proving that Judas was still alive even after the resurrection of Jesus.
Another verse in Matt 27:5 mentioned the time when Judas hanged himself, "...and went and hanged himself". The word "and" in the same verse originated from the Greek word, "Kai" (Strong's #2532), which also translates as, "and", "also", "even", "indeed", "both", "but", "so", "then", "moreover", "therefore", "yet", and "likewise" in the English language.
The translators could have used any of the other words available in the English language; instead they chose to use the most common word "and", implying a more conclusive statement; thus, majority have come to believe that Judas hanged himself right after he left the Temple. This verse was only mentioned in the Book of Matthew. I believe that Matthew recounted the hanging of Judas to a much later date (Properly translated from the original Greek text), consideration all the other irrefutable proofs presented in the book.
There are so much more to be discovered in the book, "Whom Jesus Really loved". The complete version includes Greek translations, historical events, Scriptural analysis with practical and personal applications for better understanding and wholeness in Christ Jesus.
All 36 Chapters are filled with revelations, exhaustive research, and life applications; all compiled in the book, "Whom Jesus "Really" Loved". Jesus knew the heart of all His disciples, as well as He knows ours. He knows the assigned purpose for each one of us in this lifetime and the age to come. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End (Rev 1:8).
Get the Book and experience the Life, Love, Grace and Forgiveness of Jesus the Christ...the only true Savior for all mankind!
