Matthew 27:5-8 ▼

5 And he threw the pieces of silver into the sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.

6 And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood.”

7 And taking counsel together, they bought with the money the Potter’s Field as a burial place for strangers.

8 For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
