1
And when it was morning all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus so that they might put him to death.
2
And having bound him they led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3
Then Judas, who delivered him up, seeing that he had been condemned, filled with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
4
saying, I have sinned [in] having delivered up guiltless blood. But they said, What is that to us? see *thou* [to that].
5
And having cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, he left the place, and went away and hanged himself.
6
And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, It is not lawful to cast them into the Corban, since it is [the] price of blood.
7
And having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter for a burying-ground for strangers.
8
Wherefore that field has been called Blood-field unto this day.
9
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremias the prophet, saying, And I took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was set a price on, whom [they who were] of the sons of Israel had set a price on,
10
and they gave them for the field of the potter, according as [the] Lord commanded me.
11
But Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor questioned him, saying, Art *thou* the King of the Jews? And Jesus said to him, Thou sayest.
