Biblical Trivia #1 - Answer

For those who looked for the answer and for those who didn't have time, the answer to the question is found in Matthew 27.3-10. The chief priests did not want to put the 30 pieces of silver into the sacred treasury because it was blood money. So, instead, they decided to buy a potter's field to bury strangers, which was then called "Field of Blood".

It's also interesting that what they did was also prophesied by the prophet Jeremiah (Matthew 27.9,10), proving once again that Jesus was the promised Messiah.
