Matthew 27:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ The leading priests picked up the silver coins in the Temple. They said, “Our law does not allow us to keep this money with the Temple money. This money has paid for a man’s death.” ⁷ So they decided to use the coins to buy a field called Potter’s Field. This field would be a place to bury strangers who died while visiting Jerusalem. ⁸ That is why that field is still called the Field of Blood.
