1Now when early morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus in order to put him to death.2And having bound him they led him away and delivered him to Pilate the ruler.3Then Judas, the one who delivered him, seeing that he was condemned, returned the thirty pieces of money to the high priests and elders,4saying, "I sinned in delivering innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? You will see."5And having thrown the money toward the temple he left, and having gone away he hanged himself.6But the high priests having taken the money said, "It is not lawful to throw them toward the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood."7So taking counsel, they bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners.8Therefore that field was called Field of Blood until today.9Then was fulfilled what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of money, the price of the one who had been priced, whom they priced from the sons of Israel."10and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.
