(Lesson 3240)(11-16-20) Matthew 27:6-10
“And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood. And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.”
Today’s quote relates that the chief priests of the Jews considered the thirty pieces of silver paid to Judas for his betrayal of Jesus, was blood money unworthy of being put into the treasury. This lesson again demonstrates the hypocrisy of those Jews, seeing that they were guilty of making the payment from money that had been originally taken from the treasury. ~
