1 When the morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people held a consultation against Jesus, that they might put him to death. 2 And they bound him and led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. 3 Then Judas, who had delivered him up, when he saw that he was condemned, stung by remorse, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying: I have sinned in having delivered up innocent blood. They replied: What is that to us? You will see to that. 5 And he threw down the money in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6 And the chief priests took the money, and said: It is not lawful to put it into the sacred treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7 And they took counsel, and bought with it the potter's field, as a burial-place for foreigners.
