Jesus Taken to Pilate
1 Now [when it] was early morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus in order to put him to death.
2
And [after] tying him up, they led [him] away and handed [him] over to Pilate the governor.
The Suicide of Judas Iscariot
3 Then [when] Judas, the one who had betrayed him, saw that he had been condemned, he regretted [what he had done] [and] returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and elders,
4
saying, "I have sinned [by] betraying innocent blood!" But they said, "What [is that] to us? You see to [it]!"
5
And throwing the silver coins into the temple he departed. And he went away [and] hanged himself.
6
But the chief priests took the silver coins [and] said, "It is not permitted to put them into the temple treasury, because it is {blood money}."
7
And [after] taking counsel, they purchased {with} them the Potter's Field, for a burial place for strangers.
8
(For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood until today.)
