3. Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4. saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? See to that yourself!"
5. And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.
6. The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood."
7. And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter's Field as a burial place for strangers.
8. For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
9. Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one whose price had been set by the sons of Israel;
10. and they gave them for the Potter's Field, as the Lord directed me."
11. Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."
12. And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer.
13. Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?"
