* When the morning was come , all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel 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 , which had betrayed him , when he saw that he was condemned , repented himself , and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders , * Saying , I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood . And they said , What is that to us ? see thou to that . * And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple , and departed , and went and hanged himself . * And the chief priests took the silver pieces , and said , It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury , because it is the price of blood . * And they took counsel , and bought with them the potter 's field , to bury strangers in . * Wherefore that field was called , The field of blood , unto this day . * Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet , saying , And they took the thirty pieces of silver , the price of him that was valued , whom they of the children of Israel did value ; * And gave them for the potter 's field , as the Lord appointed me .
