MATTHEW 27:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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;”
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. The fulfillment citation attributed to Jeremiah is actually a combination of Zechariah 11:12–13 and Jeremiah 18–19 (the potter's field imagery). The attribution to Jeremiah is one of the textual discussions of Matthew's Gospel; the citation draws from both prophets.
