1 When the mornyng was come, all the chiefe priestes, and the elders of the people, helde a councell agaynst Iesus to put hym to death. 2 And brought hym bounde, and deliuered hym to Pontius Pilate the deputie. 3 Then Iudas, whiche had betrayed hym, seyng that he was condempned, repented hym selfe, and brought agayne the thirtie peeces of syluer, to the chiefe priestes and elders, 4 Saying: I haue synned, betraying the innocent blood. And they said: what is that to vs? see thou to that. 5 And he cast downe the peeces of siluer in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged hym selfe. 6 And the chiefe priestes toke the peeces of syluer, and sayde: It is not lawfull for to put the into the treasurie, because it is the price of blood. 7 And they toke councell, and bought with them a potters fielde, to burye straungers in. 8 Wherfore that fielde is called the fielde of blood, vntyll this day.
