1 And having been morning, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, to kill him: 2 And having bound they brought him away, and they delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the leader. 3 Then Judas, he delivering him up, having seen that he was condemned, having felt regret, returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests, and the more ancient, 4 Saying, I have sinned, having delivered up guiltless blood. And they said, What to us? thou shalt see. 5 And having cast down the silver coins in the temple, he withdrew and having gone away, he strangled him self. 6 And the chief priests, having taken the silver coins, said, It is not lawful to cast them for an offering, since it is the price of blood. 7 And having taken counsel, they purchased with them the potter's field, for the interment to strangers.
