12I told them, “If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it.” So they paid me thirty pieces of silver. 13And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the house of the Lord.

  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.
