Theological / Devotional

Took counsel. Whether at this time or later is not stated. A trivial matter such as this was probably postponed until after the Passover.

Potter’s field. Called “Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood” (Acts 1:19). “Potter’s field” has become the name for a burial place for paupers and strangers. The location of the field is not known.
