Matthew

Matthew 27:7–10

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. ⁹Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled:

“They took the thirty pieces of silver,

the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

¹⁰and they gave them for the potter’s field,

as the Lord had commanded me.”^a
