Die Passion
Judas' anger and death
When Judas, who had betrayed Jesus, saw that he was condemned, he regretted his actions and brought the thirty silver coins back to the chief priests and the elders. He said, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood", but they replied, "What is that to us? See to it yourself." Judas threw the money into the temple and went away and hanged himself. The chief priests decided the money could not be put into the temple treasury since it was payment for blood, so they used it to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners. That is why the place has been called the Field of Blood to this day. In this way the prophecy spoken through Jeremiah about the thirty silver coins and the potter's field was fulfilled.
Matthäus 27,3-10
3When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Τότε ἰδὼν Ἰούδας ὁ ⸀παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν ὅτι κατεκρίθη μεταμεληθεὶς ⸀ἔστρεψεν τὰ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν ⸀καὶ πρεσβυτέροις
4saying, "I have sinned; I have betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself."
λέγων· Ἥμαρτον παραδοὺς αἷμα ⸀ἀθῷον. οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· Τί πρὸς ἡμᾶς; σὺ ⸀ὄψῃ.
5So he flung the silver into the temple and left; then he went away and hanged himself.
καὶ ῥίψας τὰ ἀργύρια ⸂εἰς τὸν ναὸν⸃ ἀνεχώρησεν, καὶ ἀπελθὼν ἀπήγξατο.
6The chief priests picked up the silver and said, "It is not lawful to put these coins into the treasury, since they are blood money."
οἱ δὲ ἀρχιερεῖς λαβόντες τὰ ἀργύρια εἶπαν· Οὐκ ἔξεστιν βαλεῖν αὐτὰ εἰς τὸν κορβανᾶν, ἐπεὶ τιμὴ αἵματός ἐστιν·
7After conferring together, they used it to buy the potter's field as a burial place for foreigners.
συμβούλιον δὲ λαβόντες ἠγόρασαν ἐξ αὐτῶν τὸν Ἀγρὸν τοῦ Κεραμέως εἰς ταφὴν τοῖς ξένοις.
8That is why to this day that field is called the Field of Blood.
διὸ ἐκλήθη ὁ ἀγρὸς ἐκεῖνος Ἀγρὸς Αἵματος ἕως τῆς σήμερον.
9Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by some of the people of Israel,
τότε ἐπληρώθη τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἰερεμίου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος· Καὶ ἔλαβον τὰ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια, τὴν τιμὴν τοῦ τετιμημένου ὃν ἐτιμήσαντο ἀπὸ υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ,
10and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me."
καὶ ἔδωκαν αὐτὰ εἰς τὸν ἀγρὸν τοῦ κεραμέως, καθὰ συνέταξέν μοι κύριος.
