[a]Then when Judas which betrayed him, saw that he was condemned, he repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief Priests, and Elders,

Saying, I have sinned, betraying the innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it.

And when he had cast down the silver pieces in the Temple, he [b]departed, and went, (A)and hanged himself.

And the chief Priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for us to put them into the [c]treasure, because it is the price [d]of blood.

And they took counsel, and bought with them a potter’s field, for the burial of [e]strangers.

Wherefore that field is called, (B)The field of blood, until this day.

(Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by [f]Jeremiah the Prophet, saying, (C)[g]And they took thirty silver pieces, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel valued.

10 And they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.)

  5. Matthew 27:7 Strangers and guests, whom the Jews could not abide to be joined unto, no not after they were dead.
  6. Matthew 27:9 Seeing this prophecy is read in Zech. 11:12, it cannot be denied, but Jeremiah’s name crept into the text, either through the Printer’s fault, or some other’s ignorance: it may be also that it came out of the margin, by reason of the abbreviation of the letters, the one being iou, and the other zou, which are not much unlike: but in the Syrian text the Prophet’s name is not set down at all.
  7. Matthew 27:9 The Evangelist doth not follow the Prophet’s words, but his meaning, which he showeth to be fulfilled.
