Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.”
But they said, “What is that to us?
You see to it.”
He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed.
Then he went away and hanged himself.
