Matthew 27:6-8

Worldwide English (New Testament)

⁶ The chief priests took the money. They said, `It is not right to put this money in the money box of the temple. It has been used to buy a man's death.'

⁷ They talked the matter over and bought a field that belonged to a man who made pots. They bought it for a place in which to bury strangers.

⁸ That is why that field has been called `The field of blood' until now.
