Matthew 27:5-8 ▼

5 And throwing the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary, he left; and went away and hanged himself.

6 The chief priests, picking up the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put these in the treasury [of the temple], because it is the price of blood.”

7 So after consultation they used the money to buy the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers.

8 Therefore that piece of ground has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
