Judas Hangs Himself
3 Then Judas that betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting him, returned the thirty silver pieces to the chief Priests and ancients,
4 saying: I have sinned, betraying just blood. But they said: What is that to us? look thou to it.
5 And casting down the silver pieces in the temple, he departed: and went and hanged himself with an halter.
6 And the chief Priests having taken the silver pieces, said: It is not lawful to cast them into the Corbana, because it is the price of blood.
7 And after they had consulted together, they bought with them the potter's field, to be a burying place for strangers.
8 For this cause that field was called Haceldama, that is, the field of blood, even to this present day.
9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremie the Prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the priced, whom they did price of the children of Israel.
