Yellow highlights are from the Bible and the ones
without are the ones I write, so that those who read are not confused with
biblical verses and those I write.
Zechariah 11 :
12-13 (written in 520 BC)
12 I told them, “If you think it
best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it.” So they paid me thirty pieces of
silver.
13 And the Lord said to me, “Throw
it to the potter”—the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the
thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the house of the Lord.
In chapter 11 Zechariah is prophesying about many
things and in verse 12-13 is something interesting. Here we see that the lord
asks him to throw thirty pieces of "silver" and specifically says to
throw it to the potter
Matthew
26:14-16
Judas Agrees to
Betray Jesus
14 Then one of the
Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests 15 and asked, “What are
you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?” So they counted out for
him thirty pieces of silver. 16 From then on Judas watched for an opportunity
to hand him over.
Matthew 27
Judas Hangs
Himself and the money used to buy a Potter's field
5 So Judas threw the money into
the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 The chief priests
picked up the coins and said, “It is against the law to put this into the
treasury, since it is blood money.” 7 So they decided to
use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners.
In Matthew 26
and 27 we see Judas agreeing to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, if
this is not just a coincidence the
coolest thing is that the chief priest takes that money and buy the potters
field fulfilling the prophecy
