³ Then when ^(A)Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned ^(B)the thirty ^[a]pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, ⁴ saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? ^(C)You shall see to it yourself!” ⁵ And he threw the pieces of silver into ^(D)the temple sanctuary and left; and ^(E)he went away and hanged himself. ⁶ The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them in the temple treasury, since it is money paid for blood.” ⁷ And they conferred together and ^[b]with the money bought the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers. ^8 (F)For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

¹⁶ “^[a]Brothers, ^(A)the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, ^(B)who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus. ¹⁷ For he was ^(C)counted among us and received his share in ^(D)this ministry.” ¹⁸ (Now this man ^(E)acquired a field with ^(F)the price of his wickedness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out. ¹⁹ And it became known to all the residents of Jerusalem; as a result that field was called Hakeldama in ^(G)their own language, that is, Field of Blood.)
