Thematic Bible: To jewish rulers

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. He said: I have done wrong in giving a righteous man to you. He left the silver in the Temple. Then he went away and hanged himself. read more.
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. They decided to use the silver to buy the potter's field. This would be a place to bury strangers. This is the reason the field was named Field of Blood. Then Jeremiah's prophecy was fulfilled: They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price he was valued by the children of Israel. Then they paid for the potter's field, just as God directed.
