Matthew 27:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

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.’ ⁷ They decided to use the money to buy a field. They wanted to use the field to bury foreign people who died in the city. The field had been called ‘The Pot-maker's Field’.
