Examples

“Tunc videns Judas, qui eum tradidit, quod damnatus esset, pœnitentia ductus, retulit triginta argenteos principibus sacerdotum, et senioribus, dicens: »Peccavi, tradens sanguinem justum.« At illi dixerunt: »Quid ad nos? Tu videris.« Et projectis argenteis in templo, recessit et abiens laqueo se suspendit. Principes autem sacerdotum, acceptis argenteis, dixerunt: »Non licet eos mittere in corbonam: quia pretium sanguinis est.«”

Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, “I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.” And they said, “what is that to us? see thou to that.” And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, “it is not lawful to put them into the treasury because it is the price of blood.”
