Matthew 27:1-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 27
1Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death; 2and they bound Him and led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate the governor.
3Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4saying, 'I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.' But they said, 'What is that to us? You shall see to it yourself!'
5And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and left; and he went away and hanged himself.
6The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, 'It is not lawful to put them in the temple treasury, since it is money paid for blood.'
7And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers.
8For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

Chapter 27
1When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor. 3Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. 5And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 6And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. 7And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. 8Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 27
1When daybreak came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put him to death. 2After tying him up, they led him away and handed him over to Pilate, the governor.New Living Translation
Chapter 27
1Very early in the morning the leading priests and the elders of the people met again to lay plans for putting Jesus to death. 2Then they bound him, led him away, and took him to Pilate, the Roman governor.
6The leading priests picked up the coins. 'It wouldn’t be right to put this money in the Temple treasury,' they said, 'since it was payment for murder.'
7After some discussion they finally decided to buy the potter’s field, and they made it into a cemetery for foreigners.
8That is why the field is still called the Field of Blood.

3Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
4saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? See to it yourself.”
5And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself.
6But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is blood money.”
7So they took counsel and bought with them the potter’s field as a burial place for strangers.
8Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
