the gospel of mark, the earliest gospel, gives no motive for judas's betrayal, but does present jesus predicting it at the last supper, an event also described in all the later gospels. the gospel of matthew states that judas committed the betrayal in exchange for thirty pieces of silver. the gospel of luke and the gospel of john suggest that he was possessed by satan. according to , after learning that jesus was to be crucified, judas attempted to return the money he had been paid for his betrayal to the chief priests and committed suicide by hanging. the priests used the money to buy a field to bury strangers in, which was called the "field of blood" because it had been bought with blood money. the book of acts quotes peter as saying that judas used the money to buy the field himself and, he "[fell] headlong... burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out." his place among the twelve apostles was later filled by matthias.
