Matthew 27:2-14

2and they bound Him, and led Him away and 1delivered Him to 2Pilate the governor.

3Then when 3Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned 4the thirty 5pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? 6See to that yourself!” 5And he threw the pieces of silver into 7the temple sanctuary and departed; and 8he 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 9with the money bought the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers. 810For 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: “11And 12they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one whose price had been set by the sons of Israel; 1013and 14they gave them for the Potter’s Field, as the Lord directed me.”

1115Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the 16King of the Jews?” And Jesus said to him, “17It is as you say.” 12And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, 18He did not answer. 13Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” 14And 19He did not answer him with regard to even a single 20charge, so the governor was quite amazed.
