Matthew 27:9

Verse 9 of 66. The 27th of 28 chapters in Matthew, in The Gospels.

5He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.

6The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

7They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.

8Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

9Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,

10and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”

11Now Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him, saying, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “So you say.”

12When he was accused by the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.

13Then Pilate said to him, “Don’t you hear how many things they testify against you?”
