This is what Matthew says,
When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. And they bound him and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate the governor. Then when Judas, his betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned, he changed his mind and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself." And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple, he departed, and he went and hanged himself. But the chief priests, taking the pieces of silver, said, "It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is blood money." So they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field as a burial place for strangers. Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel, and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me." - Matthew 27:1-10
Now, this might seem like a strange text. Like why talk about the chief priests buying a field with money from betraying Jesus? But this is the last of 12 fulfillment sayings in Matthew where something will happen and then Matthew will say that this fulfills something from the Old Testament and then he’ll quote it.
Now there’s debate about precisely what text he’s referring to. The three main candidates are Jeremiah 32, Jeremiah 18, and Zechariah 11. The wording is closest to Zechariah 11:12-13, but Matthew says it’s from Jeremiah. It was a common rabbinic practice to put two texts together and attribute it to only one author, you can see this in Mark 1 where he combines Malachi 3 and Isaiah 40 and just says it’s from Isaiah. It’s just a shorthand.
Anyways, I think Matthew is referring to Jeremiah 32 and Zechariah 11 and it’s really cool. In this video we’re going to focus on Jeremiah 32, let me show you.
The big picture of this passage is that Judas gives back the money that he was given to betray Jesus and the chief priests buy a field with it. Matthew tells us that that fulfills a similar situation in the Old Testament where someone buys a field, that is, in Jeremiah 32.
In Jeremiah 32, Jeremiah is supposed to buy a field while the siege of Jerusalem is happening. This is the end of Israel and Jeremiah is told to buy property. Seems a bit strange.
But there’s a positive and negative side to this. Positively, if you buy property that means you have some hope that you will have it after the city is destroyed. Negatively, this happened during the end of Israel, Israel is about to be exiled. So it’s the end and the beginning, the end of Israel but with property.
So the same situation that happened in Jeremiah is happening now. It is the end of Israel, but also the beginning. The fullness of exile happens when Jesus dies, but it is also the beginning of a new Israel. Just as the purchase of the field happened during the demise of Israel, so it will be here. Matthew demonstrates how Jesus is a new Israel, doing the same actions Israel: attacked as a baby boy, like the Israelite boys in the Exodus, baptised in the Jordan river, tempted in the wilderness, brought to a mountain (the sermon on the mount), and much much more.
The difference is that Jesus will not fail where Israel failed but will take the punishment of Israel’s failures, exile, on himself. But the purchase of the land is a foreshadowing that the death of exile is not the end, there will be earth on the other side.
Notice another detail from Matthew. The field that is purchased is said to be the place to bury strangers and a field of blood. The money that was used to betray and ultimately kill Jesus was used to buy a field that is for the bodies of strangers. That is the new land that is bought with the money from Jesus’ betrayal to death. Jesus’ enemies are unwittingly doing his work.

I’m 52 & not a very religious man, yet every time I doubt, something within the deepest part of my being makes me pause & I know Jesus & God are as real as me typing these words right now! It’s been that way since I was a child & first learned about Christianity. My family didn’t attend church growing up nor do I now yet I would still step into the abyss on my gut alone that he watches over us all. 🙏🏼

You have been loved by God before your inception, now, you need to turn to Him, accept His sacrifice and be reborned of the Spirit. ( John 3:3 ) This is the biggest and THE most important step required from you to be saved and to experience Him in all His glory. Be wise, time is of essence, time is ticking, don't be left behind like a dummy. I love you, God bless.

That was well explained! The fidelity to the biblical prophecies of the Old Testament was what made the explanation much better and the visuals are actually engaging. I have just finished reading through the passion narratives of the Lord Jesus Christ from the Gospel of Matthew and this is a timely find for me. Thank you for this endeavor in your RU-vid channel and I hope that you will keep on doing this. Great job! You are being a blessing to the Kingdom through this. May the Lord bless your work even more for the good of His people and the glory of His Name. I liked and subscribed, too!

That last part of the video reminds me of a story about St. Lawrence, a Christian leader from the days of the Roman persecution. The Roman authorities commanded him to gather up all the treasures the Church had in the area, and give them over to the government. He told them it would take a few days to gather them all, and they said they would return in the coming days to collect the treasure. When the Romans returned, they saw no treasure, only a crowd of poor and ill people. They asked him, "Where are the treasures you promised?", and he responded, gesturing to the crowd, saying, "These are the treasures of the Church." For this St. Lawrence was burned alive.

Is it possible that the last 6 chapters of Zechariah were not actually written by Zechariah? The subject matter and style changes dramatically in Zechariah chapter 9, I am looking at the possibility that the Chapters 9-14 were copies of prophesies Zechariah had that were originally written by Jeremiah / Baruch. Great video!

In Matthew's account, Judas killed himself right after he threw away the money on the ground and the priest used his money to buy the land. But in Acts, Peter said, Judas bought the land and he killed himself on that very land. These verses are contradicting. I'm a youth leader, please enlighten me. This is somehow weakening my trust to the scripture. 😭

@Acts.four.twelve 4 месяца назад

With the payment he received for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.” (Acts 1:18-19) We will use this verse. It is a very big topic so we will have to do it in parts. (1)The buyer of the land and (2) then the two differing accounts. Part 1 the buyer of the land To begin with it was the common general population that called it the field of blood because of the recent history surrounding the plot of land at the time in question. To have a right understanding or a right mind set we will use an analogy. Example A parked A"s car at a(pay for parking )carpark for 2 years.The owner (B)of the car park wants his fees for the space taken up over the 2years.B gets a court order first then legally sells the car to defray the cost,the amount remaining after B has taken his expenses must be given to A who is the still legally owner of the car. We have established legally the car can be sold by someone other than the owner ,whilst the car is still owned by someone else(A) other than the seller in this case(B) The above is the logic that we will use to proceed. 1)It was Judas"s money as he rendered the service. 2)The field was bought without Judas"s consent, as he threw the money back to the Jewish leaders who bought the field. 3)Why did they buy the field because they could not put blood money back into their coffers as it was a sin due to the services for which it was rendered. So the jews bought the field with Judas"s money,they did not say their money because it was blood money and they wanted no portion of the cursed money,rightly saying it was Judas"s money which they could not take back so they used to buy a field that the common people renamed So the answer to your question is it was Judas"s money,which the Jews used/bought the field with,a perfectly legal arrangement for the legal authorities that they the jews were. So just as the car belongs to A ..so to the money belonged to Judas. In keeping with this logic. Just as A"s possessions can be used by B so too did the Jew legal authority i.e leaders use Judas"s money Before moving to part 2 do you have any questions with the analogy presented

@Acts.four.twelve 4 месяца назад

No contradiction in Judas"s death Acts 1:18 Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. Some people have wrongly assumed that Matthew and Luke (the author of Acts) are contradictory in their account of Judas’ death. Since the Bible is inerrant Judas cannot have died by hanging and died by falling and bursting open. Rather they are two different viewpoints of the same event. For example, if I saw a car hit a pedestrian, I might simply say that the pedestrian died because he was hit by the car. The coroner who came on the scene later but did not actually see the accident might give a graphic description of the injuries to the pedestrian. Both the coroner and I are describing the same event just different aspects of it. There is no contradiction surrounding Judas’ death but rather two descriptions given by two different authors of the same event. Matthew tells us that Judas died by hanging (death is inferred from the passage). Luke, being a doctor, gives us a graphic description of what occurred following the hanging. The reason for ordering the events as such is twofold. First, if someone has fallen and their internal organs spilled out, they would die and so could not subsequently die from hanging. Second, even when people suffer bad falls, they do not usually burst open and have their internal organs spill out. Skin is very tough, and even when it is cut in the abdominal area, internals do not usually spill out. Thus, it is unlikely that Judas could die in this manner merely from falling. Gruesome as it is, Judas’ dead body hung in the hot sun of Jerusalem, and the bacteria inside his body would have been actively breaking down tissues and cells. A byproduct of bacterial metabolism is often gas. The pressure created by the gas forces fluid out of the cells and tissues and into the body cavities. The body becomes bloated as a result. In addition, tissue decomposition occurs compromising the integrity of the skin. Judas’ body was similar to an overinflated balloon: as he hit the ground (due to the branch he hung on or the rope itself breaking), the skin easily broke, and he burst open with his internal organs spilling out. There is no contradiction surrounding Judas’ death but rather two descriptions given by two different authors of the same event.
