“Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.”
Saying: I have sinned by betraying innocent blood. They said: what is that to us? See to it yourself. Judas' confession — I have sinned by betraying innocent blood — is the acknowledgment of Jesus' innocence from the one who had the most intimate knowledge of his guilt. The chief priests' what is that to us communicates the cynical dismissal of the betrayer they used: now that his service is complete, his crisis of conscience is his own problem.
