Matthew 27:7-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

7. And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter's Field as a burial place for strangers.

8. For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9. Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one whose price had been set by the sons of Israel;

10. and they gave them for the Potter's Field, as the Lord directed me."

11. Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."

12. And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer.

13. Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?"

14. And He did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed.

15. Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.

16. At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.
