Now when it was early morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred against Jesus in order to put him to death. And after tying him up, they led him away and gave him over to Pilate the governor. Then when Judas, the one who had given him over, saw that he had been condemned, he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and elders, saying, “I have sinned by giving over innocent blood!” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!” And throwing the silver coins into the temple he departed. And he went away and hanged himself. But the chief priests took the silver coins and said, “It is not permitted to put them into the temple treasury, because it is the price of blood.” And after conferring, they purchased with them the field of the potter, as burial for strangers. (For this reason, that field has been called the Field of Blood until today.) Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, who said, “And they took the thirty silver coins, the price of the one who had been priced, on whom a price had been set by the sons of Israel, and they gave them for the potter’s field, just as the Lord directed me.” Matthew 27: 1-10 | |||||||||||
