Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headlong, his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.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.

Where you find this verse
From this verse, the Word reaches
In parallel withMatthew 27:5
Matthew records the hanging and Luke records the fall and the bursting, two parts of one death.
“He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.”
In parallel withMatthew 27:7
The field Luke says Judas obtained was the one the priests bought with his returned silver.
“They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury strangers in.And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.”
That reaches back to this verse
In parallel with (this verse)Matthew 27:5
Luke tells the same death from another angle: after the hanging the body fell and burst open.
“He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.”
