3 Judas, his betrayer, heard he was to be put to death. Out of regret, he took the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and those in authority.
4 He said: »I have done wrong in giving a righteous man to you.«
5 He left the silver in the Temple. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests took the silver. They said: »It is not right to put it in the Temple treasury, for it is the price of blood.«
7 They decided to use the silver to buy the potter’s field. This would be a place to bury strangers.
8 This is the reason the field was named »Field of Blood.«
9 Then Jeremiah’s prophecy was fulfilled: »They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price he was valued by the children of Israel.
10 »Then they paid for the potter’s field, just as God directed.«
