Judas Iscariot may see Jesus being taken to Pilate. When Judas realizes that Jesus has been condemned, he feels a certain remorse and despair. However rather than turning to God in true repentance, he goes to give back the 30 pieces of silver. Judas tells the chief priests: "I sinned when I betrayed innocent blood." But he gets the heartless reply: "What is that to us? You must see to it!" - MATTHEW 27:4.
Judas throws the 30 pieces of silver into the temple and then adds to his wrongs by attempting self-murder. As Judas tries to hang himself, apparently the branch to which he ties the rop0 breaks. His body drops to the rocks below, where it bursts apart. -ACTS 1:17, 18.
