Matthew 27:3-10

3 Then when ^aJudas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned ^bthe thirty ^{▼▼ Or silver shekels}pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? ^dSee to that yourself!” 5 And he threw the pieces of silver into ^ethe temple sanctuary and departed; and ^fhe went away and hanged himself. 6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood.” 7 And they conferred together and ^{▼▼ Lit from them}with the money bought the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers. 8 ^hFor this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. 9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: ⁱ“And ^{▼▼ Or I took; cf Zec.11.13} they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one whose price had been set by the sons of Israel; 10 ^k and ^{▼▼ Some early mss read I gave} they gave them for the Potter’s Field, as the Lord directed me.”
