  1. Matthew 27:9-10 quotes Zechariah 11:12-13

    Direct quotationMedium confidence

    Matthew's citation about the thirty pieces of silver thrown to the potter follows Zechariah 11 most closely, though he attributes the words to Jeremiah.

    Evidence:
    Other responsible views
    • Attribution to Jeremiah: Matthew names Jeremiah although the closest wording is Zechariah 11. Explanations include a combined citation that also draws on Jeremiah's potter and field (Jeremiah 18, 19, 32), naming the major prophet for a scroll collection, or an early copying variant. Readers differ, and FaithGraph does not decide.
