Matthew 27:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 27:2

Jesus Handed Over to Pontius Pilate

1 When morning came, ^aall the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death.

2 And when they had bound Him, they led Him away and ^adelivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Judas Hangs Himself

3 ^aThen Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty ^bpieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!”

5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and ^adeparted, and went and hanged himself.

6 But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood.”

7 And they consulted together and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.

8 Therefore that field has been called ^athe Field of Blood to this day.

9 Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, ^a“And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced,

10 and ^agave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.”

Jesus Faces Pilate

11 Now Jesus stood before the governor. ^aAnd the governor asked Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, ^b“It is as you say.”

12 And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, ^aHe answered nothing.
