2 | HOW MUCH IS 30 SILVER COINS WORTH? | Matt 26:15 | Hank | 169503 | ||
Hi, DISIPLEME. Thanks for your question. The thirty pieces of silver which the chief priests paid Judas Iscariot to deliver Jesus to them represented about a month's wages for a laborer or the price of a common sllave. But there is a significance attached to this sum of money that takes us back 500 years to the days of Zechariah and even nearly 1,000 years farther to Moses and the Book of Exodus. Thirty pieces of silver was the price paid to the master whose slave had been gored by an ox. A slave in good condition was deemed to be worth twice that much. The supreme insult ascribed to the Messiah, God's only Son, was that He was worth only thirty pieces of silver, the same price as that paid for an incapacitated, gored slave! References: Zechariah 11:12 and Exodus 21:32. --Hank | ||||||
