No, the Bible does not give two differing accounts of Judas’s death.The Bible critics say the following: “The Bible has mistakes. For
instance, one passage says that Judas hanged himself, and another
passage says that he fell and his guts burst out!” Bless their hearts,
there is nothing illogical about the narrative those
passages put forth. Is it not strange that Bible scoffers can speak the
truth and, blinded by Satan (2 Corinthians 4:3-4), still miss it
entirely? What they think is an error is actually truth in plain sight! Peter in Acts chapter 1, six weeks after Judas' death describes Judas, “falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.” If
we simply conflate Matthew’s account and Peter’s account, it makes
perfect sense. Judas hanged himself and then died. Later, the noose
broke and his body violently fell headfirst, spilling all of his guts on
the ground. There is no contradiction concerning Judas’ death. Judas died once, and
then, after death, his corpse was mangled. Judas died by hanging and
then his lifeless body fell from the noose (probably because of an
earthquake).
