# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
In verse 17 Peter continues his speech to the believers that he began in [Acts 1:16](./15.md).
|
|
|
|
# General Information:
|
|
|
|
In verses 18-19 the author tells the reader background information about how Judas died and what people called the field where he died. This is not part of Peter's speech. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-background]])

# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Although Peter is addressing the entire group of people, here the word "us" refers only to the apostles. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]])
|
|
|
|
# Now this man
|
|
|
|
The words "this man" refers to Judas Iscariot.
|
|
|
|
# the earnings he received for his wickedness
|
|
|
|
"the money that he earned from the evil thing that he did." The words "his wickedness" refer to Judas Iscariot's betraying Jesus to the people who killed him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# there he fell headfirst, and his body burst open, and all his intestines poured out
|
|
|
|
This suggests that Judas fell from a high place, rather than just falling down. The fall was severe enough to cause his body to burst open. Other passages of scripture mention that he hanged himself. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
|
|
|
|
# Field of Blood
|
|
|
|
When the people living in Jerusalem heard of the way in which Judas died, they renamed the field.
