18(Now with the reward for his wickedness Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong and burst open in the middle, and all his intestines spilled out.
19This became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so they called that field in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20“For it is written in the book of Psalms:
‘May his place be deserted;
let there be no one to dwell in it,’ and,
‘May another take his position.’
— Acts 1:18-20
