Acts 1:18

Purchased [ε κ τ η σ α τ ο]. See on possess, Luke 18:12. Better, as Rev., obtained. Judas did not purchase the field, but the priests did with the money which he returned to them (Matthew 27:7). The expression means merely that the field was purchased with the money of Judas.

Falling headlong [π ρ η ν η ς γ ε ν ο μ ε ν ο ς]. Lit., having become headlong.

He burst asunder [ε λ α κ η σ ε]. Only here in New Testament. Lit., to crack, to burst with a noise. So Homer, of the bones cracking beneath a blow (" Iliad, "13, 616). Compare Aristophanes," Clouds, " 410.
