Matthew 27:1-5 ▼

1 Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

2 They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.

3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

4 saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”

5 He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
