Rh 7 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

8 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

9 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.

10 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

11 ¶ And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

12 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

13 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

14 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
