The apostle who handed Jesus over — 'Iscariot' probably meaning 'man of Kerioth', a Judean town, which would make him the only non-Galilean of the Twelve (a rival derivation ties it to the sicarii, the dagger-men, though that movement is attested later). Acts 1 does not curse him: Peter says only that 'he was counted among us, and was allotted his share in this ministry', which is worse than an insult. ⚠ Luke's account of his death (Acts 1:18-19 — a field bought with the wages of wickedness, a headlong fall, a body burst open) does not agree with Matthew's (27:3-10 — the silver thrown into the sanctuary, a hanging, and the priests buying the potter's field). The harmonisations are old and the disagreement is real; this library prints both and does not vote.
