Matthew 26:15
When Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders.
After Judas hanged himself, traditionally, he was buried in Potters Field, also called "Field of Blood." His grave cost thirty pieces of silver.
In answer to the first part of your question, yes, Judas Iscariot (not to be confused with another of Jesus' twelve disciples who was also named Judas) did betray Jesus to the Jewish authorities. There are a number of theories as to why Judas betrayed Him: * Judas was growing impatient and perhaps disillusioned with Jesus because it was not as "action-oriented" as Judas (as a Jew) had been taught and believed the Messiah's coming would be. * Judas was a zealot (a group that advocated the violent overthrow of Roman rule by any means necessary) and he believed that if Jesus were arrested by the Roman authorities, it might be the "spark" to cause a general uprising of the people and overthrow the Romans. * Simple greed There are other theories but these are the most common. What Judas got in return was thirty pieces of silver from the Jewish authorities at the temple (one interesting fact about the amount is that thirty pieces of silver was the "going rate" for a slave on the open market). He did not, however, ultimately benefit from the money: beset by grief at what he had done, he attempted to return the money. The Jewish leaders would not accept it because it was "blood money". Ultimately, he left the silver at the temple anyway, went out, and hanged himself. (The thirty pieces of silver, incidentally, were used by the Jewish leaders to purchase a potter's field for the burial of the poor)
AnswerBy the time of Jesus, the tribal system had long since broken down and it is unlikely that anyone would really know what tribe they belonged to. moreover, John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) says that Judas Iscariot is probably a literary creation, based in part on the following reasoning:Judas is a variant of Judah. There were 12 disciples, just as in the Genesis account, Jacob had 12 sons. When the sons of Jacob sold Joseph into slavery, it was Judah who sought money and received 20 pieces of silver (Gen 37:26-7). The king was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver (Zech 11:14), which he hurled back into the temple, just as Judas did.Even if Judas Iscariot was a real person, he would be unlikely to have known his ancestry. If, as Bishop Spong suggests, he was not a real person, then he was certainly not from the tribe of Benjamin.
A:The authors of Matthew's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles can not even agree on how Judas Iscariot died, so can hardly be expected to tell us exactly where to find his body. They both have Judas Iscariot dying a satisfyingly horrible death, although in markedly different circumstances. Matthew 27:3-5 says that Judas repented of what he had done and took the thirty pieces of silver back to the Temple and cast them down at the priests. He then went away and committed suicide. The priests spent the money on buying a field known as the potter's field. If this is the correct account, perhaps Judas was buried in the potter's field.In Acts of the Apostles, Judas was no doubt pleased to be suddenly rich, and purchased a field with the money he had received. Unfortunately for him, he fell down and died, his bowels gushing out.
Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, who received thirty pieces of silver in exchange for revealing Jesus' whereabouts to the authorities.
