The Suicide of Judas Iscariot

3 Then [when]^a Judas, the one who had betrayed him, saw that he had been condemned, he regretted [what he had done]^b [and]^c returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, "I have sinned [by]^d betraying innocent blood!" But they said, "What [is that] to us? You see to [it]!"^e 5 And throwing the silver coins into the temple he departed. And he went away [and]^f hanged himself. 6 But the chief priests took the silver coins [and]^g said, "It is not permitted to put them into the temple treasury, because it is {blood money}."^h 7 And [after]ⁱ taking counsel, they purchased {with}^j 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.) 9 Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, who said, "And they took the thirty silver coins, the price of the one who had been priced, [on] whom a price had been set by the sons of Israel, 10 and they gave them for the potter's field, just as the Lord directed me."^k
