Matthew 27:7

Judas Hangs Himself

6The chief priests picked up the pieces of silver and said, “It is unlawful to put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.”7After conferring together, they used the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.8That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.
