Matthew 27:5-7
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
5 And casting the pieces of silver [forward] into the [Holy Place of the [a]sanctuary of the] temple, he departed; and he went off and hanged himself.
6 But the chief priests, picking up the pieces of silver, said, It is not legal to put these in the [consecrated] treasury, for it is the price of blood.
7 So after consultation they bought with them [the pieces of silver] the potter’s field [as a place] in which to bury strangers.
