Jesus Delivered to Pilate
1 1When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people
2took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
2
And they bound him and
3led him away and
4delivered him over to
5Pilate the governor.
Judas Hangs Himself
3 Then when
6Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned,
7he changed his mind and brought back
8the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
4
saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us?
9See to it yourself."
5
And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple,
10he departed, and he went and hanged himself.
6
But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into
11the treasury, since it is blood money."
7
So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers.
8
Therefore
12that field has been called the Field of Blood
13to this day.
9
14Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
15"And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,
10
and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."
