Matthew 27:3-10 · BSB

²They 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 filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

⁴“I have sinned by betraying innocent blood,” he said. “What is that to us?” they replied. “You bear the responsibility.”

⁵So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.

⁶The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

⁷After conferring together, they used 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 through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

¹⁰and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

¹¹Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, who questioned Him: “Are You the King of the Jews?” “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
