Matthew 26:69-27:10
69Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a servant girl came up to him and said, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
70But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what you mean.”
71And when he went out to the entrance, another servant girl saw him, and she said to the bystanders, “This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72And again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man.”
73After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, “Certainly you too are one of them, for your accent betrays you.”
74Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know the man.” And immediately the rooster crowed.
75And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
1When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
2And they bound him and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate the governor.
3Then 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 the elders,
4saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” They said, “What is that to us? See to it yourself.”
5And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself.
6But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is blood money.”
7So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers.
8Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
9Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel,
10and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me.”
