Jesus Handed Over to Pontius Pilate

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.

Matthew 27:3

Matthew 27:3 Then Judas . . . saw that he was condemned. The annals of men record no sadder history than that of Judas, impelled by avarice and resentment to betray his Master for money, and only to awake to the nature of his awful crime when it was too late. The language here suggests that Judas had hoped that the betrayed Jesus would deliver himself from his enemies. Repented. Not, in the Greek, the word used for "repent" in Acts 2:38 and elsewhere, but one that means, rather, "remorse". The first, "metanoeo", means "to change the mind or purpose"; the other, "metamellomai", "to carry a burden of sorrow over the past". One promises a change in the future; the other is born of despair; Peter repented; Judas regretted.
