Judas Hangs Himself

Matthew 27

³ _c Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty _d pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, ⁴ saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!" ⁵ Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and _e departed, and went and hanged himself. ⁶ But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood." ⁷ And they consulted together and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. ⁸ Therefore that field has been called _f the Field of Blood to this day. ⁹ Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, _g "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced, ¹⁰ "and _h gave them for the potter's field, as the LORD directed me." ₁
