Matthew 27:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ The ·leading [^Tchief] priests picked up the silver coins in the Temple and said, “·Our law does not allow us [or It is not right] to ·keep [put] this money ·with the Temple money [in the Temple treasury], because it ·has paid for a man’s death [is blood money; ^Lis the price of blood].” ⁷ So they decided to use the coins to buy ·Potter’s Field [or the potter’s field] as a place to bury ·strangers [or foreigners]. ⁸ That is why that field is still called the Field of Blood.
