In Matthew’s account in 27:3-10 we are told of Judas decision to commit suicide by hanging himself, but Mark leaves this detail out. One thing that does interest me with regards to Judas death is: “If Jesus was really not sinless and the religious community wanted to find something to convict Jesus with why not just ask Judas?” The fact that they don’t proves that Judas’ betrayal of Jesus had nothing to do with any inconsistency, or hypocrisy in Jesus. Judas hadn’t witnessed any sin Jesus had of done, nor any wrong attitude that He manifested. There was not one time Jesus boasted, stretched the truth or lost His temper or else Judas would not have said as he does in Matthew 27:4 that Jesus was “innocent”. Instead Judas would have said, “Hey I’ve been with Jesus 3 1/2 years and “I remember the time He did this, or said that.” Judas knew that there was nothing phony about Jesus!
