Matthew:27:1-10
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it becoming early morning ,
all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel together against Jesus ,
so as to put Him to death .
*
And binding Him ,
they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor .
*
Then Judas ,
the one betraying Him ,
seeing that He was condemned ,
repenting ,
returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders ,
*
saying ,
I sinned ,
betraying innocent blood .
But they said ,
What is it to us ?
You see to it .
*
And tossing the silver pieces into the Holy Place ,
he left .
And going away he hanged himself .
*
And taking the pieces of silver ,
the chief priests said ,
It is not lawful to put them into the treasury ,
since it is the price of blood .
*
And taking counsel ,
they bought of them the potter '
s field ,
for burial for the strangers .
*
So that field was called Field of Blood until today .
*
Then was fulfilled that spoken through Jeremiah the prophet ,
saying ,
And I took the thirty pieces of silver ,
the price of Him who had been priced ,
on whom they of the sons of Israel set a price ,
*
and gave them for the potter '
s field ,
as the Lord directed me .
Zechariah .
