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.

8 Wherefore, that field was called, The field of blood, even to this day.
