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, 4saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? dYou shall see to it yourself!” 5And he threw the pieces of silver into ethe temple sanctuary and left; and fhe went away and hanged himself. 6The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them in the temple treasury, since it is money paid for blood.” 7And 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. 9Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “ iAnd ▼▼Or I took; cf. Zech 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 kand ▼▼Some early mss I gave
they gave them for the Potter’s Field, just as the Lord directed me.”
