Bible Question: just wondering how much one peice of silver was worth.to know how much judas thought of jesus |
Bible Answer: I don't recall the denomination of the pieces of silver ever having been mentioned, but depending on what they may have been, each was worth about 5 weeks of wages or more. If my math is correct, it would total about 3 years wages. I wonder what he is thinking about those wages right now. Judas'betrayal was part of the devine plan. The Lord knew before creation what Judas would do. Still, my carnal mind can not comprehend how, having known, been taught by and in the very presence of our Lord, Judas could have carried it out. The love of money is the root of all evil! How can anyone today not see this truth!?!?! Seeing, they do not see.... George |
