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

6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

7 They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.

8 Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.
