SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:8
Por lo cual fue llamado aquel campo, Acldema: Campo de sangre , hasta el día de hoy.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:8
Verse 8. The field of blood] In vain do the wicked attempt to conceal themselves; God makes them instrumental in discovering their own wickedness. Judas, by returning the money, and the priests, by laying it out, raise to themselves an eternal monument-the one of his treachery, the others of their perfidiousness, and both of the innocence of Jesus Christ. As, long as the Jewish polity continued, it might be said, "This is the field that was bought from the potter with the money which Judas got from the high priests for betraying his Master; which he, in deep compunction of spirit, brought back to them, and they bought this ground for a burial-place for strangers: for as it was the price of the blood of an innocent man, they did not think proper to let it rest in the treasury of the temple where the traitor had thrown it, who afterwards, in despair, went and hanged himself." What a standing proof must this have been of the innocence of Christ, and of their perfidy!
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - Wicked men see little of the consequences of their crimes when the commit them, but they must answer for them all. In the fullest manne Judas acknowledged to the chief priests that he had sinned, an betrayed an innocent person. This was full testimony to the characte of Christ; but the rulers were hardened. Casting down the money, Juda departed, and went and hanged himself, not being able to bear the terror of Divine wrath, and the anguish of despair. There is littl doubt but that the death of Judas was before that of our blessed Lord But was it nothing to them that they had thirsted after this blood, an hired Judas to betray it, and had condemned it to be shed unjustly Thus do fools make a mock at sin. Thus many make light of Chris crucified. And it is a common instance of the deceitfulness of ou hearts, to make light of our own sin by dwelling upon other people' sins. But the judgment of God is according to truth. Many apply thi passage of the buying the piece of ground, with the money Judas brough back, to signify the favour intended by the blood of Christ to strangers, and sinners of the Gentiles. It fulfilled a prophecy, Ze 11:12. Judas went far toward repentance, yet it was not to salvation He confessed, but not to God; he did not go to him, and say, I have sinned, Father, against heaven. Let none be satisfied with such partia convictions as a man may have, and yet remain full of pride, enmity and rebellion.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
27:8 {The field of blood} (agros haimatos). this name was attached to it because it was the price of blood and that is not inconsistent with #Ac 1:18f. Today potter's field carries the idea here started of burial place for strangers who have no where else to lie (eis taphn tois xenois), probably at first Jews from elsewhere dying in Jerusalem. In #Ac 1:19 it is called {Aceldama} or {place of blood} (cwrion haimatos) for the reason that Judas' blood was shed there, here because it was purchased by blood money. Both reasons could be true.
