Matthew 27:1-10

11Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death; 2and they bound Him, and led Him away and 2delivered Him to 3Pilate the governor.

3Then when 4Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned 5the thirty 6pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? 7See to that yourself!” 5And he threw the pieces of silver into 8the temple sanctuary and departed; and 9he went away and hanged himself. 6The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood.” 7And they conferred together and 10with the money bought the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers. 811For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “12And 13they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one whose price had been set by the sons of Israel; 1014and 15they gave them for the Potter’s Field, as the Lord directed me.”
