Matthew 27:1 – 5

New International Version (NIV)

Judas Hangs Himself

27

1 Early in the morning, all the chief priests and the elders of the people made their plans how to have Jesus executed. 2 So they bound him, led him away and handed him over to Pilate the governor.

3 When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. 4 “I have sinned,” he said, “for I have betrayed innocent blood.”

“What is that to us?” they replied. “That's your responsibility.”

5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
