Matteo 27:8

8 Perciò quel campo, fino al dì d’oggi, è stato chiamato: Campo di sangue.

Matteo 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.

Matteo 27:8 In-Context

6 Ma i capi sacerdoti, presi quei sicli, dissero: Non è lecito metterli nel tesoro delle offerte, perché son prezzo di sangue.

7 E tenuto consiglio, comprarono con quel danaro il campo del vasaio da servir di sepoltura ai forestieri.

8 Perciò quel campo, fino al dì d’oggi, è stato chiamato: Campo di sangue.

9 Allora s’adempì quel che fu detto dal profeta Geremia: E presero i trenta sicli d’argento, prezzo di colui ch’era stato messo a prezzo, messo a prezzo dai figliuoli d’Israele;

10 e li dettero per il campo del vasaio, come me l’avea ordinato il Signore.
