6And the chiefe Priests tooke the siluer pieces, and said, It is not lawfull for to put them into the treasurie, because it is the price of blood. 7And they tooke counsell, and bought with them the potters field, to burie strangers in. 8Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood vnto this day. 9(Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Ieremie the Prophet, saying, And they tooke the thirtie pieces of siluer, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value: 10And gaue them for the potters field, as the Lord appointed me.)
