* When morning came , all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death . * And when they had bound Him , they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor . * Then Judas , His betrayer , seeing that He had been condemned , was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver 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 !" * Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed , and went and hanged himself . * But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said , "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury , because they are the price of blood ." * And they consulted together and 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 what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet , saying , "And they took the thirty pieces of silver , the value of Him who was priced , whom they of the children of Israel priced , * and gave them for the potter 's field , as the LORD directed me ."
