Matthew 27:5

5 Judas threw the silver pieces into the temple and left. Then he went and hanged himself.

Matthew 27:5 In-Context

3 When Judas, who betrayed Jesus, saw that Jesus was condemned to die, he felt deep regret. He returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, and
4 said, "I did wrong because I betrayed an innocent man." But they said, "What is that to us? That's your problem."
5 Judas threw the silver pieces into the temple and left. Then he went and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests picked up the silver pieces and said, "According to the Law it's not right to put this money in the treasury. Since it was used to pay for someone's life, it's unclean."
7 So they decided to use it to buy the potter's field where strangers could be buried.
