1 - When morning came, the leaders of the people - all the chief priests and elders - took counsel against Jesus to have him put to death. 2 They bound him and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate the governor.

     3 Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood!” They said, “What do we care? What is it to us?” 5 So he threw down the pieces of silver into the temple, and then he left and went out and hanged himself.

     6 And the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it’s blood money.” 7 So they took further counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. 8 Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this very day. 9 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of he on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, 10 and they gave them for the potter's field” as the prophecy stated.

ACTS 22 22-30

          WeekLy BooK oF Acts 

22 - Up until now - until he quoted “I will send you (Messiah) to the nations” - they were listening to him (Paul). Then they started yelling, “Away with such a fellow! He should not be allowed to live!” 23 And as they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and flinging dust into the air, 24 the tribune ordered him to be brought into the barracks, saying he should be examined by flogging, to find out why they were in an uproar against him. 25 But when they had stretched him out for the whip, Paul said to the centurion standing by, “Is it lawful for you to flog a man who is a Roman citizen and has not been through the courts?” 26 When the centurion heard this, he went to the tribune and said to him, “Are you sure we should do this? For this man is a Roman citizen.” 27 So the tribune came and said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” And Paul said, “Yes.” 28 The tribune (official) answered, “I bought this citizenship for a large sum of money.” Paul said, “But I am a citizen by birth.” 29 So those who were about to examine him by flogging withdrew immediately, and the tribune also was afraid, for he realized Paul was a Roman citizen and that he had had him bound.

     30 On the next day, wanting to know the real reason why Paul was being so accused by the Hebrews/Jews (they having been stirred up by their leaders into a mob) he unbound him and commanded the chief priests and all the council to meet, and he brought Paul down to present him before them.
