Matthew 27:6-8

New Century Version

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