Matthew 27:6-10

The blood money cannot be kept, so it is used to purchase a "blood field," a graveyard to bury strangers, foreigners (xenos). This too is rich with Old Testament fulfillment, this time of the Prophet Jeremiah (32:6-9). Actually, this quotation pulls together both words from Jeremiah and Zechariah (11:12-13). Reread these chapters from Zechariah and Jeremiah as part of your devotions today.
