what kind of tree did judis hang himself on in the bible when he betrayed jesus?

Answer 1

No idea but it would be ironic if it was th same fig tree Jesus cursed.

Answer 2

He may not have hanged himself at all. One version in the bible says he bought a field with the thirty pieces of silver (the blood money) and then dropped dead in his field.

However if he DID hang himself, it was likely to be an olive tree as Christ was captured in a garden, where olive trees are likely to be. Judas was present in the garden at the time of the arrest so he may have hanged himself soon after on a tree there.

Another tree mentioned in the Bible is the fig tree - so it might have been this.

Answer 3

According to Matthew 27:5, Judas hanged himself. But Acts 1:18 says, “pitching head foremost he noisily burst in his midst and all his intestines were poured out.” Matthew seems to deal with the mode of the attempted suicide, while Acts describes the result. Combining the two accounts, it appears that Judas tried to hang himself over some cliff, but the rope or tree limb broke so that he plunged down and burst open on the rocks below. The topography around Jerusalem makes such an event conceivable.

Answer 4

Judas Tree = Cercis

Not many trees in that area, small moutain trees could survive.

Answer 5

"judis"???

Or, are you asking about Judas?

That legend is why why the Cercis siliquastrum is better known ad the Judas-tree, isn't it?

All the best.
