Matthew 27:9-14 Good News Bible (GNB)

9. Then what the prophet Jeremiah had said came true: “They took the thirty silver coins, the amount the people of Israel had agreed to pay for him,

10. and used the money to buy the potter's field, as the Lord had commanded me.”

11. Jesus stood before the Roman governor, who questioned him. “Are you the king of the Jews?” he asked.“So you say,” answered Jesus.

12. But he said nothing in response to the accusations of the chief priests and elders.

13. So Pilate said to him, “Don't you hear all these things they accuse you of?”

14. But Jesus refused to answer a single word, with the result that the Governor was greatly surprised.
