Matthew 27:1-10

Judas’ Remorse

^aNow when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel together against Jesus to put Him to death; 2 and they bound Him, and led Him away and ^adelivered Him to ^bPilate the governor.
3 Then when ^aJudas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned ^bthe ¹thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? ^aSee to that yourself!” 5 And he threw the pieces of silver into ^athe ¹sanctuary and departed; and ^bhe went away and hanged himself. 6 And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood.” 7 And taking counsel together, they bought ¹with the money the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers. 8 ^aFor this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “^aAnd ¹they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one whose price had been set by the sons of Israel; 10 ^aand ¹they gave them for the Potter’s Field, as the ²Lord directed me.”
