* When morning came , all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus , so as to put Him to death . * And having bound Him , they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor . * Then Judas , the [one ] betraying Him , seeing that He was condemned , feeling regret , returned the thirty silver [coins ] to the chief priests and elders , * saying , "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood ."And they said , "What is [that ] to us ? You see to it !" * And throwing the silver [coins ] in the sanctuary , he departed ; and going away , he hanged himself . * But the chief priests , taking the silver [coins ] said , "It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury , since they are the price of blood ." * And taking counsel , they bought with them the potter 's field , to bury strangers in . * Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day . * Then was fulfilled the thing spoken through Jeremiah the prophet , saying , "And they took the thirty [coins ], the value of Him who was priced , whom they of the sons of Israel priced , * "and they gave them for the potter 's field , as the LORD directed me ."
