  • Matt 27:3-9 : 3 Then Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned. 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. 9 Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: 'They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,' 10 'and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.'

The Lord will trouble you today." Then all Israel stoned him, and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them with fire. 26 They raised over him a great heap of stones, which remains to this day.

As surely as the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him.' 21 So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw someone running after him, he got down from his chariot to meet him and asked, 'Is everything all right?' 22 Gehazi replied, 'Everything is all right. My master has sent me to say, “Two young men from the company of the prophets in the hill country of Ephraim have just come to me. Please give them a talent of silver and two sets of clothes.”' 23 Naaman said, 'Please take two talents.' He urged Gehazi, tied up two talents of silver in two bags, along with two sets of clothes, and gave them to his two servants, who carried them ahead of Gehazi. 24 When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the gifts from the servants and stored them inside the house. Then he sent the men away, and they left. 25 When Gehazi went inside and stood before his master, Elisha asked him, 'Where have you been, Gehazi?' He answered, 'Your servant didn’t go anywhere.' 26 But Elisha said to him, 'Was my spirit not with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to take money or accept clothes, olive groves, vineyards, sheep, cattle, male servants, and female servants?' 27 Naaman’s leprosy will cling to you and to your descendants forever.' Then Gehazi went out from Elisha's presence, leprous, as white as snow.
