The Suicide of Judas

Matthew 27:3-10

When Y'hudah, who had betrayed him, saw that Yeshua had been condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the head cohanim and elders,

saying, "I sinned in betraying an innocent man to death." "What is that to us?" they answered. "That's your problem."

Hurling the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, he left; then he went off and hanged himself.

The head cohanim took the silver coins and said, "It is prohibited to put this into the Temple treasury, because it is blood money."

So they decided to use it to buy the potter's field as a cemetery for foreigners.

This is how it came to be called the Field of Blood, a name it still bears.

Then what Yirmeyahu the prophet spoke was fulfilled, "And they took the thirty silver coins, which was the price the people of Isra'el had agreed to pay for him,

and used them to buy the potter's field, just as the Lord directed me."
