Matthew 27:3-10 - The Suicide Of Judas Iscariot
3 Judas, his betrayer, heard he was to be put to death. Out of regret, he took the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and those in authority. 4 He said: I have done wrong in giving a righteous man to you.
5 He left the silver in the Temple. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests took the silver. They said: It is not right to put it in the Temple treasury, for it is the price of blood. 7 They decided to use the silver to buy the potter's field. This would be a place to bury strangers. 8 This is the reason the field was named Field of Blood. 9 Then Jeremiah's prophecy was fulfilled: They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price he was valued by the children of Israel. 10 Then they paid for the potter's field, just as God directed.
