Matthew 27:2-14

2They tied him up, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate the governor.

3Now when Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus had been condemned, he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders,

4saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood!” But they said, “What is that to us? You take care of it yourself!”

5So Judas threw the silver coins into the temple and left. Then he went out and hanged himself.

6The chief priests took the silver and said, “It is not lawful to put this into the temple treasury, since it is blood money.”

7After consulting together they bought the Potter’s Field with it, as a burial place for foreigners.

8For this reason that field has been called the “Field of Blood” to this day.

9Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty silver coins, the price of the one whose price had been set by the people of Israel,

10and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

11Then Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” Jesus said, “You say so.”

12But when he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he did not respond.

13Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many charges they are bringing against you?”

14But he did not answer even one accusation, so that the governor was quite amazed.
