Tree of Life Version

Matthew 27:2-14

2And they tied Him up, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate, the governor.

3Then Judah, His betrayer, saw that Yeshua had been condemned. Feeling remorse, he brought the thirty silver pieces back to the ruling kohanim and elders,

4saying, “I’ve sinned, betraying innocent blood!” But they said, “What’s that to us? You see to it yourself!”

5After tossing the silver into the Temple sanctuary, he left. Then he went off and hanged himself.

6But the ruling kohanim took the silver pieces and said, “It is not permitted to put these in the treasury, since it is blood money.”

7So after they conferred, they bought with them the potter’s field, as a cemetery for strangers.

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

9Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “And they took the thirty silver pieces, the price of Him on whom a price had been set by Bnei-Yisrael;

10and they gave them for the potter’s field, just as Adonai arranged for me.”

11Now Yeshua stood before the governor. The governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You say so,” Yeshua said.

12And while He was accused by the ruling kohanim and elders, He did not answer.

13Then Pilate said to Him, “Don’t You hear how many things they testify against you?”

14Yeshua did not answer, not even one word, so the governor was greatly amazed.
