3 Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders.
4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”
5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

8 That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

13 Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
13 Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?”
14 And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
14 But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor.
15 Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
15 Now it was the governor’s custom at the festival to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd.
16 And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
16 At that time they had a well-known prisoner whose name was Jesus Barabbas.
17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
17 So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?”
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
18 For he knew it was out of self-interest that they had handed Jesus over to him.
19 When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
19 While Pilate was sitting on the judge’s seat, his wife sent him this message: “Don’t have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him.”
20 But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
20 But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.
21 The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
21 “Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor. “Barabbas,” they answered.
22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
22 “What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Pilate asked. They all answered, “Crucify him!”
23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
23 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood,” he said. “It is your responsibility!”
25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
25 All the people answered, “His blood is on us and on our children!”
26 Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
26 Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.
