1
Now when morning had 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 Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3
Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, felt remorse, 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? You see to it."
5
He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.
6
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."
