Matthew 27:1-10

Riverside(i) 1 WHEN morning came all the high priests and the elders of the people consulted together against Jesus to put him to death. 2 After binding him, they led him away and handed him over to Pilate the Governor. 3 Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus had been condemned, was sorry and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the high priests and elders, 4 saying, "I sinned in betraying innocent blood!" But they said, "What is that to us? You must see to that." 5 Then throwing the silver into the Temple he left and went and hung himself. 6 The high priests took the money and said, "It is not proper to put it in with the consecrated gifts, since it is the price of blood." 7 So after consultation they bought with it the potter's field for the burial of strangers. 8 For this reason that field is called the "Field of Blood" to this day. 9 Then was fulfilled what was said through Jeremiah the prophet, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him who was priced, whom they priced from the sons of Israel, 10 and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."
