Matthew 27:8

Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.

Wherefore {G1352} that {G1565} field {G68} was called {G2564}, The field {G68} of blood {G129}, unto {G2193} this day {G4594}.

This is how it came to be called the Field of Blood, a name it still bears.

That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
