Follow the money – Judas and the thirty pieces of silver

Let’s continue our investigation into the circumstances around Judas’ death. This time, we focus on Judas and the thirty pieces of silver. We’ll follow the money. Who had the silver? When did they transfer from one person to another? And why? The “why” turns out to be incredibly important because it will define the “who”. Confused? Read on. It’ll all become clear.

Once again, we need to back and look at the witness testimony. Matthew. Mark. Luke. John. And Luke again, as the author of Acts. All of their statements have the potential to supply the needed information.

Some of the testimony is quite straightforward.

But some will be very foreign to most of us. Why? Because it’s influenced by Jewish law.
