Matthew 27 Intro: The Crucifixion of Christ.
1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, to put him to death.
2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3 Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4 Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.
5 And they said unto him, What is that to us? See thou to it; thy sins be upon thee.
6 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went, and hanged himself on a tree. And straightway he fell down, and his bowels gushed out, and he died.
7 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them in the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
8 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
