Judas took the temple guards to the Mount of

Jesus asked, “Judas will you betray me with a kiss?”

When Jesus was arrested and crucified, Judas was
very sorry. He tried to give the money back, but the
temple leaders wouldn’t take it, so he threw it on the
temple floor and went and hanged himself on a tree.

The temple leaders didn’t know what to do with the money
and used it to buy the useless land outside Jerusalem,
where potters used to dig clay to make pots. There they
made a place to bury any strangers who died in their town.
