Judas Hangs Himself

3 aThen Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty bpieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,  
4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!”
5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and adeparted, and went and hanged himself.  
6 But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood.”
7 And they consulted together and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
8 Therefore that field has been called athe Field of Blood to this day.  
9 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, a“And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced,  
10 and agave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.”

Matthew 27:5

And he cast down the pieces of silver—The sarcastic, diabolical reply which he had got, in place of the sympathy which perhaps he expected, would deepen his remorse into an agony.

in the temple—the temple proper, commonly called "the sanctuary," or "the holy place," into which only the priests might enter. How is this to be explained? Perhaps he flung the money in after them. But thus were fulfilled the words of the prophet—"I cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord" (Zechariah 11:13).

and departed, and went and hanged himself—For the details, see on Acts 1:18.
