Judas returns the silver and hangs himself

Saint Matthew - Chapter 27


Judas returns the pieces of silver. J-J Tissot
[1] Mane autem facto, consilium inierunt omnes principes sacerdotum et seniores populi adversus Jesum, ut eum morti traderent.
And when morning was come, all the chief priests and ancients of the people took counsel against Jesus, that they might put him to death.

[2] Et vinctum adduxerunt eum, et tradiderunt Pontio Pilato praesidi.
And they brought him bound, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

[3] Tunc videns Judas, qui eum tradidit, quod damnatus esset, pœnitentia ductus, retulit triginta argenteos principibus sacerdotum, et senioribus,
Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients,

[4] dicens : Peccavi, tradens sanguinem justum. At illi dixerunt : Quid ad nos? tu videris.
Saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they said: What is that to us? look thou to it.

[5] Et projectis argenteis in templo, recessit : et abiens laqueo se suspendit.
And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed: and went and hanged himself with an halter.

[6] Principes autem sacerdotum, acceptis argenteis, dixerunt : Non licet eos mittere in corbonam : quia pretium sanguinis est.
But the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver, said: It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood.

[7] Consilio autem inito, emerunt ex illis agrum figuli, in sepulturam peregrinorum.
And after they had consulted together, they bought with them the potter's field, to be a burying place for strangers.

[8] Propter hoc vocatus est ager ille, Haceldama, hoc est, Ager sanguinis, usque in hodiernum diem.
For this cause the field was called Haceldama, that is, The field of blood, even to this day.

[9] Tunc impletum est quod dictum est per Jeremiam prophetam, dicentem : Et acceperunt triginta argenteos pretium appretiati, quem appretiaverunt a filiis Israel :
Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremias the prophet, saying: And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was prized, whom they prized of the children of Israel.

[10] et dederunt eos in agrum figuli, sicut constituit mihi Dominus.
And they gave them unto the potter's field, as the Lord appointed to me.

Totus tuus ego sum 
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
