Mateo 27:8

8 Por eso se le ha llamado Campo de Sangre hasta el día de hoy.

Mateo 27:8 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 27:8

Wherefore that field was called
Not by the priests and elders, but by the common people, who knew by what money it was purchased,

the field of blood;
or "Aceldama", which so signifies, as in ( Acts 1:19 ) , not called the field of the priests, the purchasers; nor the field of the strangers, for whom it was bought; but the field of blood, being purchased with that money, for which innocent blood was betrayed; and this name it bore

unto this day;
in which Matthew wrote his Gospel, about eight years after, as is thought. Jerom ^F24 says, that in his time this field was shown on the south side of Mount Sion.

Mateo 27:8 In-Context

6 Los jefes de los sacerdotes recogieron las monedas y dijeron: «La ley no permite echar esto al tesoro, porque es precio de sangre».

7 Así que resolvieron comprar con ese dinero un terreno conocido como Campo del Alfarero, para sepultar allí a los extranjeros.

8 Por eso se le ha llamado Campo de Sangre hasta el día de hoy.

9 Así se cumplió lo dicho por el profeta Jeremías: «Tomaron las treinta monedas de plata, el precio que el pueblo de Israel le había fijado,

10 y con ellas compraron el campo del alfarero, como me ordenó el Señor».
