Matthew 27:4-14

The Message Bible MSG

4 saying, "I've sinned. I've betrayed an innocent man." They said, "What do we care? That's your problem!"

5 Judas threw the silver coins into the Temple and left. Then he went out and hung himself.

6 The high priests picked up the silver pieces, but then didn't know what to do with them. "It wouldn't be right to give this - a payment for murder! - as an offering in the Temple."

7 They decided to get rid of it by buying the "Potter's Field" and use it as a burial place for the homeless.

8 That's how the field got called "Murder Meadow," a name that has stuck to this day.

9 Then Jeremiah's words became history: They took the thirty silver pieces, The price of the one priced by some sons of Israel,

10 And they purchased the potter's field. And so they unwittingly followed the divine instructions to the letter.

11 Jesus was placed before the governor, who questioned him: "Are you the 'King of the Jews'?" Jesus said, "If you say so."

12 But when the accusations rained down hot and heavy from the high priests and religious leaders, he said nothing.

13 Pilate asked him, "Do you hear that long list of accusations? Aren't you going to say something?"

14 Jesus kept silence - not a word from his mouth. The governor was impressed, really impressed.

New International Version NIV

4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied. “That’s your responsibility.”

5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

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 So they decided to use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

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

9 Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel,

10 and they used them to buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.

12 When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.

13 Then Pilate asked him, “Don’t you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?”

14 But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge—to the great amazement of the governor.
