* When it was morning , all the chief priests and the leaders of the people made a plan against Jesus . They wanted to kill him . * They tied him and took him away . They took him to Pilate , the ruler . * Judas was the man who helped them take Jesus . He saw that they had judged Jesus and were going to kill him . He was sorry for what he had done , so he brought the thirty pieces of silver money back to the chief priests and leaders . * He said , I have done wrong . I have helped you take a good man who should not be killed . They said , What do we care ? You look after that ! * Judas threw the silver money into the temple . He went away and hanged himself . * The chief priests took the money . They said , It is not right to put this money in the money box of the temple . It has been used to buy a mans death . * They talked the matter over and bought a field that belonged to a man who made pots . They bought it for a place in which to bury strangers . * That is why that field has been called The field of blood until now . * What Jeremiah the prophet said long ago , then came true at that time . He said , They took thirty pieces of silver money . That is what the people of Israel said he was worth . * They paid for the potters field . That is what the Lord told me to do .
