nsb Matthew:27:1-10
nsb@Matthew:27:1 @ It was morning. The chief priests and those in authority conspired to put Jesus to death.
nsb@Matthew:27:2 @ They tied his hands with cords and led him to the ruler, Pilate.
nsb@Matthew:27:3 @ Judas, his betrayer, heard he was to be put to death. Out of regret, he took the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and those in authority.
nsb@Matthew:27:4 @ He said: »I have done wrong in giving a righteous man to you.«
nsb@Matthew:27:5 @ He left the silver in the Temple. Then he went away and hanged himself.
nsb@Matthew:27:6 @ The chief priests took the silver. They said: »It is not right to put it in the Temple treasury, for it is the price of blood.«
nsb@Matthew:27:7 @ They decided to use the silver to buy the potters field. This would be a place to bury strangers.
nsb@Matthew:27:8 @ This is the reason the field was named »Field of Blood.«
nsb@Matthew:27:9 @ Then Jeremiahs prophecy was fulfilled: »They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price he was valued by the children of Israel.
nsb@Matthew:27:10 @ »Then they paid for the potters field, just as God directed.«
