Context
Jesus Brought Before Pilate
27:1 When it was early in the morning , all the chief priests and the elders of the people plotted against Jesus to execute him .
27:2 They tied him up , led him away , and handed him over to Pilate the governor .
Judas’ Suicide
27:3 Now when Judas , who had betrayed him , saw that Jesus had been condemned , he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders ,
27:4 saying , “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood !” But they said , “What is that to us ? You take care of it yourself!”
27:5 So Judas threw the silver coins into the temple and left . Then he went out and hanged himself .
27:6 The chief priests took the silver and said , “It is not lawful to put this into the temple treasury , since it is blood money .”
27:7 After consulting together they bought the Potter’s Field with it , as a burial place for foreigners .
27:8 For this reason that field has been called the “Field of Blood ” to this day .
