Matthew 27:3-8
1599 Geneva Bible
3 ¶ [a]Then when Judas which betrayed him, saw that he was condemned, he repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief Priests, and Elders,
4 Saying, I have sinned, betraying the innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it.
5 And when he had cast down the silver pieces in the Temple, he [b]departed, and went, (A)and hanged himself.
6 And the chief Priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for us to put them into the [c]treasure, because it is the price [d]of blood.
7 And they took counsel, and bought with them a potter’s field, for the burial of [e]strangers.
8 Wherefore that field is called, (B)The field of blood, until this day.
