Matthew 26:56 – A prophecy fulfilled from Psalms 38:11 and Isaiah 63:3.
Matthew 27:3 – Judas is sorrowful of his actions as Peter was also sorrowful over his denial. Peter however turned away from his denial and back to Jesus. Judas however did not have any hope for Jesus as the Son of God or his own life.
Matthew 27:9 – A prophecy fulfilled from Zechariah 11:12. (from Matthew Henry) How they are here said to be spoken by Jeremy is a difficult question; but the credit of Christ’s doctrine does not depend upon it; for that proves itself perfectly divine, though there should appear something human as to small circumstances in the penmen of it. The Syriac version, which is ancient, reads only, It was spoken by the prophet, not naming any, whence some have thought that Jeremy was added by some scribe; some think that the whole volume of the prophets, being in one book, and the prophecy of Jeremiah put first, it might not be improper, currente calamo – for a transcriber to quote any passage out of that volume, under his name. The Jews used to say, The spirit of Jeremiah was in Zechariah, and so they were as one prophet. Some suggest that it was spoken by Jeremiah, but written by Zechariah; or that Jeremiah wrote the ninth, tenth, and eleventh chapters of Zechariah.
Matthew 27:25 – It is good that the blood of Christ covers our sin. Would you have called for Jesus’s blood to be on you and your children thinking about it that way?
