Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Matthew 27:1-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Matthew 27:7

They bought with them the potter's field — Well known, it seems, by that name. This was a small price for a field so near Jerusalem. But the earth had probably been digged for potters' vessels, so that it was now neither fit for tillage nor pasture, and consequently of small value. Foreigners — Heathens especially, of whom there were then great numbers in Jerusalem.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Matthew 27:7

And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury (d) strangers in.

(d) Strangers and guests, whom the Jews could not endure to be joined with even after they were dead.
