Matthew 27:2-10

Matthew 27:2-10 CEV

They tied him up and led him away to Pilate the governor. Judas had betrayed Jesus, but when he learned that Jesus had been sentenced to death, he was sorry for what he had done. He returned the 30 silver coins to the chief priests and leaders and said, “I have sinned by betraying a man who has never done anything wrong.” “So what? That's your problem,” they replied. Judas threw the money into the temple and then went out and hanged himself. The chief priests picked up the money and said, “This money was paid to have a man killed. We can't put it in the temple treasury.” Then they had a meeting and decided to buy a field that belonged to someone who made clay pots. They wanted to use it as a graveyard for foreigners. This is why people still call that place “Field of Blood.” So the words of the prophet Jeremiah came true, “They took the thirty silver coins, the price of a person among the people of Israel. They paid it for a potter's field, as the Lord had commanded me.”
