GE 37:31 Then they got Joseph’s robe, slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in |
The blood. |
32 They took the ornamented robe back to their father and said, «We |
Found this. |
Examine it to see whether it is your son’s robe.» |
GE 37:33 He recognized it and said, «It is my son’s robe! |
Some ferocious animal |
Has devoured him. |
Joseph has surely been torn to pieces.» |
MT 27:5 So Judas threw the money into the temple and left. |
Then he went away |
And hanged himself |
MT 27:6 The chief priests picked up the coins and said, «It is against the law |
To put this into the treasury, since it is blood money.» |
7 So they decided to |
Use the money to buy the potter’s field as a burial place for foreigners. |
8 |
That is why it has been called the Field of Blood to this day. |
9 Then what was |
Spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: «They took the thirty silver |
Coins, the price set on him by the people of Israel, 10 and they used them to |
Buy the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.» |
MT 27:11 Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him |
«Are you the king of the Jews?""Yes, it is as you say,» Jesus replied |
