Matthew 27:6
<< Matthew 27:6 >>
The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood." (NASB ©1995)

Matthew 27:5 And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.

Matthew 27:7 And they conferred together and with the money bought the Potter's Field as a burial place for strangers. (NASB ©1995)


And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

It is not. 23:24 Lu 6:7-9 Joh 18:28

to put. De 23:18 Isa 61:8

because. The Jews considered it was strictly forbidden by the Divine law to bring any filthy or iniquitous gain into the temple. For this reason they now refused to allow this money to be placed in the chest in the temple, amongst the former contributions for its repairs. In this, they were right enough, but by the very act of refusing this money, they proved themselves to be gross perverters of the spirit of God's requirements: they saw not that it was much less lawful for them, who had hired Judas to this sordid action, to be employed in the service of the temple. Those that 'bear the vessels of the Lord,' ought to be holy. Thus our Lord's words, 'Ye blind guides! ye strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.'
