³ Judas had betrayed Jesus, but when he learned that Jesus had been sentenced to death, he was sorry for what he had done. He returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and leaders ⁴ and said, "I have sinned by betraying a man who has never done anything wrong." "So what? That's your problem," they replied. ⁵ Judas threw the money into the temple and then went out and hanged himself. ⁶ The chief priests picked up the money and said, "This money was paid to have a man killed. We can't put it in the temple treasury." ⁷ Then they had a meeting and decided to buy a field that belonged to someone who made clay pots. They wanted to use it as a graveyard for foreigners. ⁸ That's why people still call that place "Field of Blood." ⁹ So the words of the prophet Jeremiah came true, "They took the thirty silver coins, the price of a person among the people of Israel. ¹⁰ They paid it for a potter's field, as the Lord had commanded me."

(v. 5) Did Judas die from hanging or from falling? He went away and hanged himself
