LOL, but alas it was not to last. Now I need to get to your last benchmark 12345. Unfortunately you have much further to go than do I.

[Dr T]

Yeah, I don't see my numbers getting to anything like that again

True or False? Judas Iscariot asked the chief priests how much they would give him for delivering Jeus to them. (in Matt 26)

Interesting you said "much". "Much" is not mentioned. He asked in v15(KJV) "What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?" My guess is that he left it open so they could negotiate. The NIV agrees with this: "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?"

The answer is False.

In the New Testament, Judas Iscariot death came by hanging himself in one passage. In a different account, he fell headlong and his bowels gushed out. These are two vastly different accounts of his death. Which one correctly describes how Judas really died?
Acts 1:18 "With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. 19Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood."

Matthew 27:3-5
"3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders.
4 "I have sinned," he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood." "What is that to us?" they replied. "That's your responsibility."
5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself."

A.) Judas hung himself.
B.) Judas fell and his bowels gushed out.
C.) Neither one is correct.
D.) Both are correct.
E.) Judas faked his death anyways, so the question is irrelevant.

I just say this post as I was running out and the two of those are not necessarily a contradiction. It could have been both without the two accounts being at odds. Just a thought. C u all later

True but the Biblical account is missing the correlation. The correct answer according to the JST = Both.

[Dr T]

I don't have a JST but I'd also say that it is easily resolved to say they can both be accurate.
