Matthew 27:2-10

Moffatt(i) 2 After binding him, they led him off and handed him over to Pontius Pilate the governor. 3 Then Judas his betrayer saw he was condemned, and repented; he brought back the thirty silver pieces to the high priests and elders, 4 saying, "I did wrong in betraying innocent blood." "What does that matter to us?" they said, "it is your affair, not ours!" 5 Then he flung down the silver pieces in the temple and went off and hung himself. 6 The high priests took the money and said, "It would be wrong to put this into the treasury, for it is the price of blood." 7 So after consulting they bought with it the Potter's Field, to serve as a burying-place for strangers. 8 That is why the field is called to this day "The Field of Blood." 9 Then the word spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: and I took the thirty silver pieces, the price of him who had been priced, whom they had priced and expelled from the sons of Israel; 10 and I gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord had bidden me.
