Matthew 27:3-10
Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was
remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief
priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent
blood.” And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!” 5 Then
he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and
went and hanged himself. 6 But the chief priests took the silver
pieces and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury,
because they are the price of blood.” 7 And they consulted together
and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in. 8
Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
9 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet,
saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him
who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced, 10 and
gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.”
(NKJV)
