The field of blood?
The article analyzes why the "Field of Blood" bears that name, drawing on the accounts in Matthew and Acts. These accounts do not contradict one another but offer theological and popular perspectives: the purchase with "blood money" and Judas's death.
Zechariah 11.12-13 (King James Version) :And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
