The Puritans are the men of God who started in the 16th century building on the purity of the gospel message that Salvation is by Grace alone.

How did judas die?
I rekon he hung himself and then after a few days the rope broke and spilled his guts ( love the visual here ... not really :)
who purchased the potters field?
Mat 27:5-10
So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
The chief priests picked up the coins and said, "It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money." So they decided to use the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners. That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "They took the thirty silver coins, the price set on him by the people of Israel, and they used them to buy the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."
so who bought the field? well the pahrasis did using judas' money, in the name of judas.
elessi: from what I can see it was Judas guts that spilled. Perhaps the rope was just long enough to hang him but still when he fell he connected with something that slit his stomach open.

Your explanation of who purchased the potters field was better then what I was going to say. I like the bit from Jeremiah
allforlove,
yes it was the pharisees and chief priests who bought the potters field with the blood money they had originally paid judas with. They could not keep the money in the treasury but they could use it on an existing expence, namely a burial plot for foreigners. Notice the utter hypocracy that they could pay a blood price, and spend a blood price but would not have it sit in their treasury at all.
As to how judas died, this is only a conjecture buit it may be valid. Have you ever wondered why people are standing there waiting to be hung in the movies and the a trapdoor opens under them?
This is a safety net so to speak for the hangman, the jerk from being dropped and then caught by the noose should break the persons neck, if this fails they will suffocate anyway. win-win for the hangman. Another practice, although rarer and not on movies was to disembowel the person as well. Cutting across their stomache similar to japanese hari-kari so the jerk will break their neck, cause their organs to spill out and if both these fail, the poor wretch will still suffocate in the noose.
Judas may have been in such a state to not want any possible chance of the other desciples finding him alive after his betrayal of Jesus, so he cut his own stomache before hanging himself as precaution to make sure he died fast?

wow....i didnt know his guts spilled out
That's what I LOVE about the Bible. It's SOOO gruesome. All the blood and guts and pregnant women getting ripped open (Hosea) and bears eating children alive (II Kings).
Think of the movie it would make! And they thought Friday the 13th was gory!
Muah hah hah hah!
