Matthew 27:1-4 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.

2. And they bound him and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate the governor.

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,

4. saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? See to it yourself.”
