Judas walked about in this
world a sad1743
example of impiety; for his body having
swollen to such an extent that he could not pass where a chariot could
pass easily, he was crushed by the chariot, so that his bowels gushed
out.1744
1744 Literally,
“were emptied out.” Theophylact, after quoting this passage,
adds other particulars, as if they were derived from Papias. [But see
Routh, i. pp. 26, 27.] He says that Judas’s eyes were so swollen
that they could not be seen, even by the optical instruments of
physicians; and that the rest of his body was covered with runnings and
worms. He further states, that he died in a solitary spot, which was left
desolate until his time; and no one could pass the place without stopping
up his nose with his hands. | E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
