1
Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
2
and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.
3
Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4
saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou [to it].
5
And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.
6
And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.
