What did Judas do with the 30 pieces of silver?

Luke, who wrote Acts, researched what happened, so he had access to the records of sales, which were public. The field was bought with Judas' money and was therefore in his name. Judas, however, had thrown the money back at the priests and they, not willing to accept blood money for use in the temple, had evidently bought the field in Judas' name. Matthew was closer to the original events and, having been a tax collector, would have also known a number of people in the bureaucracy of the time -- and therefore had access to the knowledge of who actually did the buying of the field.

 

Joh 14:14-16 (KJV1611 Edition):
If ye shall aske any thing in my Name, I will doe it.
15 If ye loue me, keepe my commandements.
16 And I will pray the Father, and hee shall giue
you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for euer,

Many misunderstand this passage.
They think that you have to say the name of 'Jesus'
to get whatever you want. This is MAGIC (the original
meaning, not the tricky slight-of-hand):
getting what you want by saying the right name.
MAGIC is occult and Pagan and strictly prohibited by
the Laws of Moses.

What is really meant here is ON BEHALF OF.

Once my boss left me in charge while he was gone
a few days. I could even sign his name to documents.
But i made REAL SURE that I only put his name on
papers that HE would want his name on. In other words,
I had to know the will of my boss and DO IT.

Same with 'asking in the name of Jesus' - it is
a matter of doing HIS WILL.

Now, having that understood, the question of
the opening post is easy:
Acts sumarized what Matthew described.
The parties took the 30 pieces of silver from
Judas and bought a field with the money of Judas
in the name of Judas.

 

This is another instance where critics of the Bible says there is a contradiction, where there is no contradiction.
