3¶ Then Iudas, which had betraied him, when he saw that hee was condemned, repented himselfe, and brought againe the thirtie pieces of siluer to the chiefe Priests and Elders, 4Saying, I haue sinned, in that I haue betraied the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to vs? see thou to that. 5And hee cast downe the pieces of siluer in the Temple, and departed, and went and hanged himselfe. 6And the chiefe Priests tooke the siluer pieces, and said, It is not lawfull for to put them into the treasurie, because it is the price of blood. 7And they tooke counsell, and bought with them the potters field, to burie strangers in.
