Quiz: Bible Catchphrases

Thirty pieces of silver (symbol of betrayal). For thirty pieces of silver Judas betrayed Christ to the chief priests (Matthew 26:15). This amount is called the value of the Priced One (Matthew 27:9). The prophets Jeremiah (Jeremiah, chaps. 18,19 and 32) and, with literal precision of fulfilment, Zechariah (Zech.11:12) predicted about this value of the Priced One. This value of the Priced One is taken from the valuation of the life of a slave or slave-girl under the law of Moses. In the Second Book of Moses Exodus we read: «If an ox gores a man or a woman to death, then the ox shall surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be acquitted. (Ex.21:28)... But if the ox tended to thrust with its horn in times past, and it has been made known to his owner, and he has not kept it confined, so that it has killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death. (Ex.21:29).... If the ox gores a male or female servant, he shall give to their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned. (Ex.21:32). It is clear that the life of the slave was valued at thirty shekels of silver and the owner of the slave was paid this amount for the death of the slave.
