Matthew 27:3-10 ESV Then 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, (4) saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself." (5) And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself. (6) But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is blood money." (7) So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. (8) Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. (9) Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, (10) and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."
Matthew 27:3-10 GW Then Judas, who had betrayed Jesus, regretted what had happened when he saw that Jesus was condemned. He brought the 30 silver coins back to the chief priests and leaders. (4) He said, "I've sinned by betraying an innocent man." They replied, "What do we care? That's your problem." (5) So he threw the money into the temple, went away, and hanged himself. (6) The chief priests took the money and said, "It's not right to put it into the temple treasury, because it's blood money." (7) So they decided to use it to buy a potter's field for the burial of strangers. (8) That's why that field has been called the Field of Blood ever since. (9) Then what the prophet Jeremiah had said came true, "They took the 30 silver coins, the price the people of Israel had placed on him, (10) and used the coins to buy a potter's field, as the Lord had directed me."
Matthew 27:3-10 BBE Then Judas, who was false to him, seeing that he was to be put to death, in his regret took back the thirty bits of silver to the chief priests and those in authority, (4) Saying, I have done wrong in giving into your hands an upright man. But they said, What is that to us? it is your business. (5) And he put down the silver in the Temple and went out, and put himself to death by hanging. (6) And the chief priests took the silver and said, It is not right to put it in the Temple store for it is the price of blood. (7) And they made a decision to get with the silver the potter's field, as a place for the dead of other countries. (8) For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day. (9) Then came true that which was said by Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty bits of silver, the price of him who was valued by the children of Israel; (10) And they gave them for the potter's field, as I had word from the Lord.
Matthew 27:3-10 MKJV Then he who had betrayed Him, seeing that He was condemned, sorrowing, Judas returned the thirty pieces of silver again to the chief priests and elders, (4) saying, I have sinned, betraying innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? You see to that. (5) And he threw the pieces of silver down in the temple and departed. And he went and hanged himself. (6) And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. (7) And they took counsel and bought the potter's field with them, to bury strangers in. (8) Therefore that field was called, The Field of Blood, to this day. (9) Then that which was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of Him who had been priced, whom they of the children of Israel valued, (10) and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me."
