Matthew27:8
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. Miss. Herald, 1824, p. 66. See the map of Jerusalem, and ch. ii. 1.
Unto this day. That is, to the day when Matthew wrote this gospel, about thirty years after the field was purchased.
