The Suicide of Judas

3

Then Judah, who betrayed him, when he saw that Yeshua was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

4

saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”

5

He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, and departed. He went away and hanged himself.

6

The chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

7

They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them, to bury strangers in.

8

Therefore that field was called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

9

Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

10

and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
