Commentary
Commentary on Matthew 27:6
Theological / DevotionalNot lawful. The restriction was probably based on Deut. 23:18.
The treasury. Gr. korbanas, the transliteration of an Aramaic word meaning “gift.” As here used, korbanas probably designates the place where gifts were stored.
The price of blood. The priests shrank from placing the thirty pieces of silver back into the Temple treasury, but were eager to shed the innocent blood they had purchased therewith. They manifested a similar scrupulousness when they refused to enter Pilate’s hall of judgment, lest they be defiled and thus be unable to eat the Passover (John 18:28).
