Thankyou for you custom
… hear ye PUBLIC DECLARATION hear ye …
We give notice that on 15th of this month at 6pm approx.
Public Announcement shall be decreed thus by Town Crier:
the plot of land previously known as
POTTER’S FIELD
shall henceforth until further notice be known as
AKELDAMA or FIELD OF BLOOD
Documentary evidence: Zacchaeus and the death of Judas
What information
can we glean from these scraps of paper?
Why, do you
suppose, did the tax collector return all he had stolen
four times over, and
give away some of his property? Compare Numbers 5:5-7
Where did the money
end up? Why was the field’s name altered?
