OLD TESTAMENT PROPHECY
“Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me” - Psalm 41:9
It is interesting to note that the price of thirty pieces of silver was not decided by the betrayer Judas, but by the enemies of Christ. They were unaware that the price which they had determined was fulfilling the prophecy made by Zechariah centuries earlier. The Old Testament would inform us that this price was paid for a servant who had been attacked and gored by an ox - " 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” - Exodus 21:32. Not surprisingly, Jesus, the Servant of Jehovah, would Himself be pierced by His attackers!
