(MAT 27:5)It is commonly thought that Judas impaled himself on his sword, since "hang" and "impale" are the same word. It was a common form of suicide. The word for "hang by the neck" did not come about until 1400 AD.
"And falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all of his bowels gushed out." (ACT 1:18)
This is one of the best known biblical contradictions regarding the fate of Judas. Please don't say it's a mistranslation.
