¹⁹ A Torah-teacher approached and said to him, “Rabbi, I will follow you wherever you go.” ²⁰ Yeshua said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds flying about have nests, but the Son of Man has no home of his own.” ²¹ Another of the talmidim said to him, “Sir, first let me go and bury my father.” ²² But Yeshua replied, “Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

³ When Y’hudah, who had betrayed him, saw that Yeshua had been condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty silver coins to the head cohanim and elders, ⁴ saying, “I sinned in betraying an innocent man to death.” “What is that to us?” they answered. “That’s your problem.” ⁵ Hurling the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, he left; then he went off and hanged himself.

⁶ The head cohanim took the silver coins and said, “It is prohibited to put this into the Temple treasury, because it is blood money.” ⁷ So they decided to use it to buy the potter’s field as a cemetery for foreigners. ⁸ This is how it came to be called the Field of Blood, a name it still bears. ⁹ Then what Yirmeyahu the prophet spoke was fulfilled, “And they took the thirty silver coins, which was the price the people of Isra’el had agreed to pay for him, ¹⁰ and used them to buy the potter’s field, just as the Lord directed me.”^[a]
