Matthew 27:1-10
========================
1Early in the morning, all
the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have
Jesus executed.
2So they bound him, led him
away and handed him over to Pilate the governor.
3When Judas, who had betrayed
him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the
thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders.
4“I have sinned,” he said,
“for I have betrayed innocent blood.” “What is that to us?” they replied.
“That’s your responsibility.”
5So Judas threw the money
into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6The chief priests picked up
the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the treasury, since
it is blood money.”
7So they decided to use the
money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.
8That is why it has been
called the Field of Blood to this day.
9Then what was spoken by
Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the
price set on him by the people of
10and they used them to buy
the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
