MATT. 27JESUS DELIVERED UP TO PILATE; THE END OF JUDAS; JESUS BEFORE PILATE; THE MOCKERY; THE CRUCIFIXION; THE DEATH OF JESUS; JESUS WAS LAID IN THE TOMB; POSTING A GUARD AND SEALING THE TOMBNow when morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: and they bound him, and led him away and delivered him up to Pilate the governor.

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 27:3

Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.The exact time Judas made that decision is not given; it has already been noted that the Sanhedrin made no use of Judas' testimony, and if they attempted to suborn him, which it may be assumed that they did, he certainly refused; and such a speculation, if allowed, would account for their hostility when he attempted later to return the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 27:4

Saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it.How callous and bitter do the religious leaders appear in this cold and heartless exhibition of total indifference to moral and spiritual values.

Even the man who betrayed Christ confessed his... read more

And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said, It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.The casting of the silver into the sanctuary fulfilled Zechariah's prophecy (Zechariah 11:12). See under Matthew 27:10, below. Other things forbidden to the treasury were the hire of a harlot and the price of a dog (Deuteronomy 23:18). The capacity of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 27:7

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 through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel did price; and they gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord hath appointed me.Still ignorant of what they were doing, the enemies of Jesus... read more
