Matthew 27:3-8

New Matthew Bible

³ Then when Judas who had betrayed him saw that he was condemned, he repented, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, ⁴ saying, I have sinned, betraying the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? You see to it. ⁵ And Judas cast down the silver pieces in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.

⁶ And the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. ⁷ And they took counsel, and bought with the money a potter’s field to bury strangers in. ⁸ Therefore that field is called the Field of Blood until this day.
