Who was hung, Jesus or Judas?

Answer 1

Jesus hung on a cross, Judas was hung by the neck.

Answer 2

Jesus was naked on that cross, so I' sure someone must have noticed even if no one commented. Judas presumably did the noose fully clothed and would have been expeditiously dumped in a hole without any one looking. As to the verb, I find hung as suitable as hanged, although that is a minority report according to the Oxford dictionary of English. Hanged is the usage grammar snobs find acceptable, although they couldn't tell you why. It has largely to do with intention and the delicacy with which one refers to the human person. Hung is the proper past and past pariciple conjugation of hang. The means of execution in Roman times was by crucifixion, a more torturous route than breaking the neck or strangling, the Romans weren't big on gallows. When it comes to suicide it's pretty hard to hang yourself on a cross. The effect of both is much the same, death by suffocation generally, although there are those who were executed in a different manner and then exposed on a cross. Both were hanged/hung.

Answer 3

probably both, since they were both men, and had the parts that hung down. However, Jesus was crucified, and Judas HANGED himself. Humans are hanged, not hung when talking about a method of death

Answer 4

Jesus was nailed to a cross and Judas was supposed to have hung himself in shame for betraying Jesus.

Answer 5

Judas hung himself in the potters field (Matthew 27:5) and then after his body decayed and bloated, evidently the rope broke and he burst into pieces on the land of the potters field (Acts 1:18-19).

Answer 6

the Bible claims Jesus was executed on the cross....which is a kind of hanging, though not what we usually think of.

the Bible gives 2 different versions of how Judas came to his end...in one place it says he hung himself, in another place it says he threw himself onto the ground and split himself open. There are also two completely different stories about what happened to the 40 pieces of silver.

The Jesus story and the 2 Judas stories are, however, completely fictional.

Answer 7

Judas Iscariot was hung on the cross as a punishment for the betrayal of the beloved Messiah.

Psalm 37:28-40 speaks of this. The 'righteous' would, of course, be Jesus(A.S.) and the 'wicked' would, of course, be Judas Iscariot.

When Jesus(A.S.) prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, his prayers were not unheard. The visage of Jesus(A.S.) was placed upon Judas as a punishment for the betrayal, thus convincing the Roman soldiers that he was Jesus(A.S.) instead, so Judas was tortured and tried instead of the beloved Messiah.

When he was brought before Pontius Pilate and asked if he was Jesus, the King of the Jews, he responded, 'Thou sayest' or, in current vernacular, 'Yeah, right. Whatever you say', because no matter what he said, they didn't believe that he *wasn't* Jesus(A.S.)

Also, being a Messiah of God, Jesus's(A.S.) faith must be absolute. Only a wicked priest such as Judas Iscariot would've uttered such blasphemy as 'My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?' -Bible, Matthew 27:46

Answer 8

Judas hung himself in the traditional sense of the word hung. It says at Acts 1:18, 19: "(With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. 19Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)"

Jesus was hung from a stake, but not in the traditional noose-type way. He was hung in the sense we would use the word when referring to hanging a picture (using nails to affix something vertically).

Answer 9

the Bible says Judas went out and hung himself

the Bible says that Rome hung Jesus on a cross

Answer 10
