Matthew 27:3-12
English Standard Version
Judas Hangs Himself
3 Then when (A)Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus[a] was condemned, (B)he changed his mind and brought back (C)the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? (D)See to it yourself.” 5 And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, (E)he departed, and he went and hanged himself. 6 But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into (F)the treasury, since it is blood money.” 7 So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. 8 Therefore (G)that field has been called the Field of Blood (H)to this day. 9 (I)Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, (J)“And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, 10 and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.”
Jesus Before Pilate
11 (K)Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you (L)the King of the Jews?” Jesus said, (M)“You have said so.” 12 (N)But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he gave no answer.
