And the princes of the priests taking the silver pieces, 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
Therefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
9
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty
pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the sons of Israel did value,
10
and gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.
11
And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
12
And being accused by the princes of the priests and the elders, he answered nothing.
13
Then Pilate said unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
14
And he did not answer him even a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
15
Now at
that feast the governor was accustomed to release unto the people a prisoner, whoever they desired.
16
And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
