Contextual Overview

¹ Early the next morning, all the leading priests and elders of the people decided that Jesus should die. ² They tied him, led him away, and turned him over to Pilate, the governor. ³ Judas, the one who had given Jesus to his enemies, saw that they had decided to kill Jesus. Then he was very sorry for what he had done. So he took the thirty silver coins back to the priests and the leaders, ⁴ saying, "I sinned; I handed over to you an innocent man." The leaders answered, "What is that to us? That's your problem, not ours." ⁵ So Judas threw the money into the Temple. Then he went off and hanged himself. ⁶ The leading priests picked up the silver coins in the Temple and said, "Our law does not allow us to keep this money with the Temple money, because it has paid for a man's death." ⁷ So they decided to use the coins to buy Potter's Field as a place to bury strangers who died in Jerusalem. ⁸ That is why that field is still called the Field of Blood. ⁹ So what Jeremiah the prophet had said came true: "They took thirty silver coins. That is how little the Israelites thought he was worth. ¹⁰ They used those thirty silver coins to buy the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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 x says, that in his time this field was shown on the south side of Mount Sion.

x De locis Hebraicis.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The field of blood - The field purchased by the price of blood. The name by which this field was called was “Aceldama,” Acts 1:19. It was just without the walls of Jerusalem, on the south of Mount Zion. It is now used as a burying-place by the Armenian Christians in Jerusalem, who have a magnificent convent on Mount Zion - Missionary Herald, 1824, p. 66. See the plan of Jerusalem.

To this day - That is, to the day when Matthew wrote this gospel, about 30 years after the field was purchased.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Matthew 27:8. The field of blood — In vain do the wicked attempt to conceal themselves; God makes them instrumental in discovering their own wickedness. Judas, by returning the money, and the priests, by laying it out, raise to themselves an eternal monument - the one of his treachery, the others of their perfidiousness, and both of the innocence of Jesus Christ. As, long as the Jewish polity continued, it might be said, "This is the field that was bought from the potter with the money which Judas got from the high priests for betraying his Master; which he, in deep compunction of spirit, brought back to them, and they bought this ground for a burial-place for strangers: for as it was the price of the blood of an innocent man, they did not think proper to let it rest in the treasury of the temple where the traitor had thrown it, who afterwards, in despair, went and hanged himself." What a standing proof must this have been of the innocence of Christ, and of their perfidy!
