Matthew

Matthew 27:6–8

⁶The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.” ⁷After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners. ⁸That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
