Matthew 27:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ The chief priests picked the money up. “We can’t put it in the collection,” they said, “since it’s against our laws to accept money paid for murder.”

⁷ They talked it over and finally decided to buy a certain field where the clay was used by potters, and to make it into a cemetery for foreigners who died in Jerusalem. ⁸ That is why the cemetery is still called “The Field of Blood.”
