* When the morning was come (5637 ), all the chief priests and elders of the people took (5627 ) counsel against Jesus to put him to death (5658 ): * And when they had bound (5660 ) him , they led him away (5627 ), and delivered (5656 ) him to Pontius Pilate the governor . * Then Judas , which had betrayed (5723 ) him , when he saw (5631 ) that he was condemned (5681 ), repented himself (5679 ), and brought again (5656 ) the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders , * Saying (5723 ), I have sinned (5627 ) in that I have betrayed (5631 ) the innocent blood . And they said (5627 ), What is that to us ? see (5695 ) thou to that . * And he cast down (5660 ) the pieces of silver in the temple , and departed (5656 ), and went (5631 ) and hanged himself (5668 ). * And the chief priests took (5631 ) the silver pieces , and said (5627 ), It is not lawful (5748 ) for to put (5629 ) them into the treasury , because it is (5748 ) the price of blood . * And they took (5631 ) counsel , and bought (5656 ) with them the potters field , to bury strangers in . * Wherefore that field was called (5681 ), The field of blood , unto this day . * Then was fulfilled (5681 ) that which was spoken (5685 ) by Jeremy the prophet , saying (5723 ), And they took (5627 ) the thirty pieces of silver , the price of him that was valued (5772 ), whom they of the children of Israel did value (5668 ); * And gave (5656 ) them for the potters field , as the Lord appointed (5656 ) me . * And Jesus stood (5627 ) before the governor : and the governor asked (5656 ) him , saying (5723 ), Art (5748 ) thou the King of the Jews ? And Jesus said (5713 ) unto him , Thou sayest (5719 ). * And when he was accused (5745 ) of the chief priests and elders , he answered (5662 ) nothing . * Then said (5719 ) Pilate unto him , Hearest thou (5719 ) not how many things they witness against (5719 ) thee ? * And he answered (5662 ) him to never a word ; insomuch that the governor marvelled (5721 ) greatly . * Now at that feast the governor was wont (5715 ) to release (5721 ) unto the people a prisoner , whom they would (5707 ). * And they had (5707 ) then a notable prisoner , called (5746 ) Barabbas . * Therefore when they were gathered together (5772 ), Pilate said (5627 ) unto them , Whom will ye (5719 ) that I release (5661 ) unto you ? Barabbas , or Jesus which is called (5746 ) Christ ? * For he knew (5715 ) that for envy they had delivered (5656 ) him . * When he was set down (5740 ) on the judgment seat , his wife sent (5656 ) unto him , saying (5723 ), Have thou nothing to do with that just man : for I have suffered (5627 ) many things this day in a dream because of him . * But the chief priests and elders persuaded (5656 ) the multitude that they should ask (5672 ) Barabbas , and destroy (5661 ) Jesus .
