Matthew 27:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 27:8

6 But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood.”

7 And they consulted together and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.

8 Therefore that field has been called ^athe Field of Blood to this day.

9 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, ^a“And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced,

10 and ^agave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.”
