Matthew 27:5-8 ▼

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

6 The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them in the temple treasury, since it is money paid for blood.”

7 And they conferred together and with the money bought 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.
