Matthew 27:3-10

The suicide of Judas Matthew 27:3-10 (cf. Acts 1:18-19)

"Peter has sinned by words, under the pressure of the moment, and for him there can be a new start; Judas has sinned in deed, in a premeditated, settle course of action which has now borne fruit which, too late, he wishes he could have undone." [Note: France, The Gospel . . ., pp. 1039-40.]
