Acts 1:18-19:
18 (Yehudah had bought a field with the money he had received for his treachery, and when he had fallen down in that field, his stomach had burst open and his intestines had slid out on the ground.[ref] 19 So everyone in Yerushalem started calling that place ‘The field of blood’.)
Zech 11:12-13:
12 Then I told them, “If it seems good to you, give me my wages, but if not, don’t bother.” So they paid me thirty silver coins.[ref]
13 Then Yahweh told me, “Give the money to the potter[fn]—the pathetic amount that they valued you at.” So I took the thirty silver coins and tossed them to the potter in Yahweh’s temple.
11:13 potter (following the Hebrew): in the ancient Syriac translation, they used ‘treasury’ (2x) in this verse, so some other English translations might differ.
Mat 27:3-8:
3 When Yehudah (Judas; Grk. Yudas), (the one who had turned him in) saw that he was being sentenced to death, he regretted his actions and returned the payment to the chief priests and elders 4 saying, “I’ve sinned and turned in an innocent man.”
“What’s that got to do with us?” they asked. “You sort out your own problems.”
5 Then Yehudah threw the money down on the temple floor and went off and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests took the money and decided, “We can’t legally deposit the money to the temple treasury because it’s blood money.” 7 They got advice and decided to buy the potter’s field that was for sale to make it a cemetery for people from out of town, 8 so that place got called ‘The field of blood’[ref] until today.
