1. Then, when morning arrived, all the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so that they might deliver him to death.
2. And they led him, bound, and handed him over to Pontius Pilate, the procurator.
3. Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he had been condemned, regretting his conduct, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the leaders of the priests and the elders,
4. saying, "I have sinned in betraying just blood." But they said to him: "What is that to us? See to it yourself."
5. And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed. And going out, he hanged himself with a snare.
6. But the leaders of the priests, having taken up the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple offerings, because it is the price of blood."
7. Then, having taken counsel, they bought the potter's field with it, as a burying place for sojourners.
8. For this reason, that field is called Haceldama, that is, 'The Field of Blood,' even to this very day.
