Matthew 27:8

Read in context

Matthew 27:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”

7 After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.

8 That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

9 Then what was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on Him by the people of Israel,

10 and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord had commanded me.”
