Matthew 27:3-6

Judas Hangs Himself

3 Then when ¹Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus^[a] was condemned, ²he changed his mind and brought back ³the 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? ⁴See to it yourself."

5 And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, ⁵he 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 ⁶the treasury, since it is blood money."
