Origen, on Matt 27:6
Origen · c. A.D. 184–253
Matt 27:6 · Douay-Rheims
“But the chief priests having taken the pieces of silver, said: It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood.”
On this verse:
“Or, the foreigners are they who to the end are aliens from God, for the righteous are buried with Christ in a new tomb hewn out in the rock. But they who are aliens from God, even to the end, are buried in the field of a potter, a worker in clay, which being bought by the price of blood, is called the field of blood.”
