5 and having cast down the silverlings in the sanctuary, he departed, and having gone away, he did strangle himself.

6 And the chief priests having taken the silverlings, said, 'It is not lawful to put them to the treasury, seeing it is the price of blood;'

7 and having taken counsel, they bought with them the field of the potter, for the burial of strangers;

8 therefore was that field called, 'Field of blood,' unto this day.
