REACTING Here in Matthew 27 we will find that Jesus walks His last steps on this earth as a mortal human being. Verses 1-2: “When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.” He was delivered to Pontius Pilate because at the time the Jews had lost their legal right to execute anyone. The Jews’ method of execution was by stoning, which was ordered by Moses. However, they were now under Roman rule. Verses 3-4: “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, Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.” It says: “repented himself”. That is, he felt sorry for himself. I have called on a lot of people in high security prisons over the years and most of the time I have found that they feel sorry for themselves because they were caught, not because of what they had done. That is what is happening here with Judas. He is sorry that he finds himself in the middle of all this and that everyone is bound to find out what he has done. He did not repent to God, he repented himself. Some modern Bibles leave the word “himself” completely out of that verse. Also I want you to notice the phrase “the innocent blood”. He is acknowledging the fact that Jesus Christ is totally sinless; Judas calls Him “the innocent blood”! Notice the chief priests and elders reaction: “What is that to us?” In other words: so what, we do not care! Verse 5: “And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.” There are only two of these New Testament people in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John that are written up in the Old Testament. The first of course is Jesus Christ. He is found throughout the entire Bible. The second is Judas Iscariot. David wrote about him in the Psalms. The proof of that is in Acts chapter 1. Concerning His life, Jesus said in John 10:18: “No man taketh it from me, but I lay

it down myself...” He hung on a tree. In one place in the Bible it calls the cross a tree. Judas hung himself on a tree although it was not a cross, but the similarity is there. They hung on a tree on the same day and they both laid down their lives of themselves. That information is important because it gives us a clue as to the identity of the Antichrist in the book of Revelation. Now look at verse 6: “And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.” On the one hand they are so careful not to go against God’s law; on the other hand they are so willing to execute an innocent man, which is also a violation of God’s word! That is religion without salvation! Watch this! They took the money and bought the potter’s field to bury strangers in. The prophecy in verse 9 of this filthy blood money is found in Jeremiah 18:1-4; 19: 1-3, and in Zechariah 11:12-13. In verse 10 of Matthew 27 it states: “And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.” The “me” in this verse is of course talking about Jesus Christ. In verse 11 He affirms that He is King of the Jews and verse 12 is a fulfillment of the prophecy in Isaiah 53:7. He does not have to defend Himself nor will He! He is willing to take all the guilt on Himself. The Bible says in II Corinthians 5:21: “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” This last day of the life of Christ as a mortal human being on this earth continues on in this chapter and so I will continue on next week! It is very important to see how the people reacted because in a sense they are still reacting the same way today. The majority are still rejecting Christ!
