Matthew 27:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

⁶ The leaders of the priests picked up the coins. They said, ‘We used this money to catch and kill a man. So it is against our Law to use this same money for the temple.’ ⁷ They decided to use the money to buy a field. They wanted to use the field to bury foreign people who died in the city. The field had been called ‘The Pot-maker's Field’. ⁸ After this, it was called ‘The Field of Blood’. It is still called that even today.
