1
When the morning had 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 back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4
saying, "I have sinned in that I have betrayed the 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.
