Matthew:27:1-10
rsv@Matthew:27:1 @ When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death;
rsv@Matthew:27:2 @ and they bound him and led him away and delivered him to Pilate the governor.
rsv@Matthew:27:3 @ When Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
rsv@Matthew:27:4 @ saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself."
rsv@Matthew:27:5 @ And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself.
rsv@Matthew:27:6 @ But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since they are blood money."
rsv@Matthew:27:7 @ So they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
rsv@Matthew:27:8 @ Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
rsv@Matthew:27:9 @ Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,
rsv@Matthew:27:10 @ and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."
