Matthew 27:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ He said to them, ‘I have done the wrong thing. I helped you to take hold of a man who has done nothing wrong.’

They said to Judas, ‘That is not important to us. That is your problem.’

⁵ So Judas took the money and he threw it down on the floor in the temple. Then he went away. He hung himself from a rope so that he died.

⁶ The leaders of the priests picked up the coins. They said, ‘We used this money to catch and kill a man. So it is against our Law to use this same money for the temple.’
