3 Entonces Judas, el que le había entregado, viendo que era condenado, volvió arrepentido las treinta [piezas] de plata á los príncipes de los sacerdotes y á los ancianos,

4 Diciendo: Yo he pecado entregando la sangre inocente. Mas ellos dijeron: ¿Qué [se nos da] á nosotros? Viéras[lo] tú.

5 Y arrojando [las piezas] de plata en el templo, partióse; y fué, y se ahorcó.

6 Y los príncipes de los sacerdotes, tomando [las piezas] de plata, dijeron: No es lícito echarlas en el tesoro de los dones, porque es precio de sangre.

7 Mas habido consejo, compraron con ellas el campo del alfarero, por sepultura para los extranjeros.
