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.
