Feeling remorse, he returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 He said, 'I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.' But they replied, 'What is that to us? You take care of it.' 5 Then, throwing the silver pieces into the temple, he left. He went and hanged himself. 6 The chief priests picked up the silver pieces and said, 'It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is blood money.' 7 So they consulted together and used the money to buy the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. 8 For this reason, that field has been called 'The Field of Blood' to this day.
