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.
9. Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one being appraised, whom they appraised before the sons of Israel,
10. and they gave it for the potter's field, just as the Lord appointed to me."
11. Now Jesus stood before the procurator, and the procurator questioned him, saying, "You are the king of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "You are saying so."
12. And when he was accused by the leaders of the priests and the elders, he responded nothing.
13. Then Pilate said to him, "Do you not hear how much testimony they speak against you?"
14. And he did not respond any word to him, so that the procurator wondered greatly.
15. Now on the solemn day, the procurator was accustomed to release to the people one prisoner, whomever they wished.
16. And at that time, he had a notorious prisoner, who was called Barabbas.
17. Therefore, having been gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Who is it that you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus, who is called Christ?"
18. For he knew that it was out of envy they had handed him over.
19. But as he was sitting in the place for the tribunal, his wife sent to him, saying: "It is nothing to you, and he is just. For I have experienced many things today through a vision for his sake."
20. But the leaders of the priests and the elders persuaded the people, so that they would ask for Barabbas, and so that Jesus would perish.
21. Then, in response, the procurator said to them, "Which of the two do you want to be released to you?" But they said to him, "Barabbas."
22. Pilate said to them, "Then what shall I do about Jesus, who is called Christ?" They all said, "Let him be crucified."
