1 Early the next morning all the chief priests and the nation's leaders met and decided that Jesus should be put to death.
2 They tied him up and led him away to Pilate the governor.
3 Judas had betrayed Jesus, but when he learned that Jesus had been sentenced to death, he was sorry for what he had done. He returned the 30 silver coins to the chief priests and leaders
4 and said, “I have sinned by betraying a man who has never done anything wrong.”“So what? That's your problem,” they replied.
5 Judas threw the money into the temple and then went out and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests picked up the money and said, “This money was paid to have a man killed. We can't put it in the temple treasury.”
