[27:3] Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
[27:4] saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? See to it yourself.”
[27:5] And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself.
[27:6] But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is blood money.”
[27:7] So they took counsel and bought with them the potter’s field as a burial place for strangers.
[27:8] Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
[27:9] Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,
[27:10] and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.”
