Mateo 27:8

8 Por eso todavía se llama el Campo de Sangre.

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 principales sacerdotes recogieron las monedas. «No sería correcto poner este dinero en el tesoro del templo —dijeron—, ya que se usó para pagar un asesinato
».

7 Luego de discutir unos instantes, finalmente decidieron comprar el campo del alfarero y convertirlo en un cementerio para extranjeros.

8 Por eso todavía se llama el Campo de Sangre.

9 Así se cumplió la profecía de Jeremías que dice:
«Tomaron
las treinta piezas de plata
—el precio que el pueblo de Israel le puso a él—

10 y compraron el campo del alfarero,
como indicó el Señor
»
