5 So he threw the silver into the sanctuary and departed. Then he went and hanged himself.

6 The chief priests took the silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put it into the temple treasury, since it is blood money.”

7 So they conferred together and bought the potter’s field with it as a burial place for foreigners.

8 Therefore that field has been called “Blood Field” to this day.
