Bible Question: Matthew clearly cites Jeremiah as the prophet who gave the saying, but the saying itself is from Zechariah 11:12-13. Did he make a mistake? |
Bible Answer: Dear Steve, "27:9 spoken by Jeremiah. Actually the statement paraphrases Zech. 11:12,13. But the Hebrew canon was divided into 3 sections, Law, Writings, and Prophets (cf. Luke 24:44). Jeremiah came first in the order of prophetic books, so the Prophets were sometimes collectively referred to by his name." Page 1447, The MacArthur NKJV Study Bible Nolan |
