Matthew 27:1 - 27:8

In this presentation, Steve Gregg discusses the details of Matthew 27:1-8, which follows the arrest and trial of Jesus. He points out that the Sanhedrin needed Roman approval to sentence Jesus to death, leading them to gather and throw down pieces of silver in the temple. Gregg notes that the account of Judas Iscariot's death differs in some ways from other Gospel narratives, and suggests that the disciples likely discussed and shared information about what happened. Finally, he addresses a seeming inconsistency in the quotation attributed to Jeremiah in Matthew 27:9, which appears to actually come from the prophet Zechariah.
