Matthew 27:2-16 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

2. and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.

3. Then Judas, which betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

4. saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it.

5. And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.

6. And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.

7. And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.

8. Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

9. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel did price;

10. and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.

11. Now Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.

12. And when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

13. Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?

14. And he gave him no answer, not even to one word: insomuch that the governor marveled greatly.

15. Now at the feast the governor was wont to release unto the multitude one prisoner, whom they would.

16. And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
