Matthew 27:5-8

5 And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, 1he departed, and he went and hanged himself.
6 But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into 2the treasury, since it is blood money."
7 So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers.
8 Therefore 3that field has been called the Field of Blood 4to this day.
