Matthew 27:1-10

Sawyer(i) 1 (25:1) AND when it was morning all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to kill him. 2 And having bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the procurator. 3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting, returned the thirty shekels of silver [$16.80] to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, I have sinned, betraying innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see you to it. 5 And throwing down the silver in the temple he departed; and having gone away strangled himself. 6 (25:2) And the chief priests taking the silver said, It is not lawful to put it into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7 And taking counsel, they bought with it the potter's field for a burying place for strangers. 8 For this reason, the field is called a field of blood to this day. 9 Then was fulfilled the word spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying; And they took the thirty shekels of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom [men] from the sons of Israel set a price upon, 10 and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me.
