Zechariah 11:11-13
Living Bible
11 That was the end of the agreement. Then those who bought and sold sheep, who were watching, realized that God was telling them something through what I did.
12 And I said to their leaders, “If you like, give me my pay, whatever I am worth; but only if you want to.”
So they counted out thirty little silver coins[a] as my wages.
13 And the Lord told me, “Use it to buy a field from the pottery makers[b]—this magnificent sum they value you at!”
So I took the thirty coins and threw them into the Temple for the pottery makers.
