Matthew 27:1-5 ▼

1 When daybreak came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put him to death.

2 After tying him up, they led him away and handed him over to Pilate, the governor.

3 Then Judas, his betrayer, seeing that Jesus had been condemned, was full of remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

4 “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What’s that to us? ” they said. “See to it yourself! ”

5 So he threw the silver into the temple and departed. Then he went and hanged himself.
