Judas Hangs Himself
3 Then when See ch. 26:14Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus27:3 Greek he was condemned, ch. 21:29he changed his mind and brought back ch. 26:15the 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? ver. 24See to it yourself." 5 And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, [2 Sam. 17:23;Acts 1:18]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 Mark 12:41,43;Luke 21:1;John 8:20the 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.
