Who gave Judas 30 silver coins for Jesus?

Answer 1

In Matthew 27:3 it states: When Judas who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the 30 silver coins to the chief priests and the elders. "I have sinned" he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood." Judas threw the money int the temple and left. Then he went to hang himself. The chief priest picked up the coins and said " it is against the law to to put this into treasury since it is blood money" So they decided to use the money buy the potters field as a burial placer for foreigners. That is why it is called the Field of Blood to this day.

Answer 2

The 30 pieces of silver were given to Judas as payment for his betrayal. See Mat 26:14-14.

Matthew 27:9-10 explains the meaning of the 30 pieces of silver as a fulfillment to prophesy.

Then what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled: "They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price set on him by the people of Israel, and they used them to buy the potter's field, as the Lord commanded me."-- Matthew 27:9-10

Answer 3

14: Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, (who were envious of Jesus and wanted to kill him.)

15: And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

16: And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

Matthew 26:14-16

Later after Judas betrays Jesus he feels sorry and commits suicide:

3: Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

4: Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.

5: And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

Matthew 26:3-16, KJV

Answer 4

The authors of the New Testament gospels often found inspiration in the Old Testament. Zechariah 11:12 says, "And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver."

Matthew chapter 27 expands the Zechariah chapter 11 reference to casting the thirty pieces of silver unto a potter, along with parallel references in Jeremiah to purchase of the potter's field, and has Judah cast down the thirty pieces of silver in the Temple and then the priests bought the potter's field.

The thirty pieces of silver were a fulfilment of the prophetic words in Zechariah.

Answer 5

The Jewish Leaders gave Judas the 30 silver coins for Jesus. The reason they did it is because they hated Jesus so much, they would do anything to get rid of him. Since Judas agreed to take the coins, they wanted to arrest Jesus . It was a part of the deal between Judas and the Jewish Leaders. He got Jesus arrested so he could keep the silver.

However, afterwards Judas was full of remorse. He gave the silver back (which was equivalent to a month's wages for an unskilled labourer) and committed suicide.

Answer 6

This depends on which account one is to believe. According to the Gospel of Matthew, Judas, overcome with remorse, returned the coins to the priests that had given them to him, and then he hanged himself. The priests, in turn, does not want the money, regarding it as blood money(conveniently forgetting that THEY paid the blood money), and so uses it to buy the Potter's field. (Matthew 27)

However, according to Acts of Apostles, Judas buys the field himself, goes there, and there he 'fell headlong, his body burst open and his intestines spilled out'. (Acts 1) However, no actual sum is mentioned in Acts, merely that he used his payment, however much it was.

Either way, the money ultimately goes to buying the Potter's field, but in differing ways.
