People's Commentary (NT)
Acts 1:18
This man purchased a field. He returned the bribe money to the
priests, who used it to purchase the potter's field. Peter here
intends to say that his money bought the field. The Greek verb
"ktaomai", rendered "purchased", has the form that means "caused to be
purchased".
Falling headlong. Matthew 27:5 says he hanged himself. Peter tells
some additional particulars, which Matthew omitted. He probably hanged
himself on a tree projecting over the precipices of the Valley of
Hinnom, and afterwards, on account of the rope or limb breaking, fell
headlong with such force as to burst his body open on the jagged rocks.
This is the traditional account of his death.
