Corrected entry: When Judas tries to return his reward for turning over Jesus, the men do not accept it, which is how the bible told it, yet when he left, he threw the money down and left. In the bible, it says that,"With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field." (Acts 1:18) It goes on saying it was that field where he hung himself. How did he pay for a field with those 30 pieces of silver if he threw it back at them and left it there?

Correction: Judas did throw the money on the floor and leave as the movie showed. It was the "chief priests and elders" who bought the field with the money Judas had earned by betraying Jesus. Matthew 27:3-7 says "Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? See to that yourself!" And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood." And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter's Field as a burial place for strangers.
