1
When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
2
And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3
Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4
Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood. And they said, What [is that] to us? see thou [to that].
5
And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
6
And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
7
And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
8
Wherefore that field has been called, The field of blood, to this day.
