Matthew 27:8

The field of blood (agrov aimatov). This name was attached to it because it was the price of blood and that is not inconsistent with Acts 1:18 f. Today potter's field carries the idea here started of burial place for strangers who have no where else to lie (eiv tafhn toiv cenoiv), probably at first Jews from elsewhere dying in Jerusalem. In Acts 1:19 it is called

Aceldama or

place of blood (xwrion aimatov) for the reason that Judas' blood was shed there, here because it was purchased by blood money. Both reasons could be true.
