In Bible Vs Quran: The Forged Prophecy of Saint Matthew

In Bible Vs Quran: The Forged Prophecy of Saint Matthew

Saint Matthew' Scandal in the Bible

Saint Matthew narrated the story of Jesus when he was taken to Pilate after Judas has sold him by Thirty Silver Coins.

Matthew 27:1-9

Now when morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: and they bound him, and led him away, and delivered him up to Pilate the governor. Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, what is that to us? See thou to it.  And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.  And the chief priests took the pieces of silver, and said: it is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.  And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.  Wherefore that field was called, the field of blood, unto this day.

Saint Matthew continued his story and said in Matthew 27:9:

Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying, and they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel did price;

As a matter of fact, Jeremiah the prophet never ever said that in his book.

Oh Saint Matthew, your quote is not present in the entire book you were referring to!

Oh Saint Matthew, your quote is forged

Nevertheless, Jeremiah the prophet said in Jeremiah 8:8:

How can you say, "We are wise because we have the word of the Lord," when your teachers have twisted it by writing lies?

1. 2.       Jeremiah 8:8

New Living Translation

How can you say, "We are wise because we have the word of the Lord," when your teachers have twisted it by writing lies?

Some Biblical Version that change the verse by adding words that are not present in Jeremiah 8:8 (the underlined words)

The Message

How can you say, "We know the score? We're the proud owners of God's revelation"? Look where it's gotten you—stuck in illusion.  Your religion experts have taken you for a ride! Your know-it-alls will be unmasked, caught and shown up for what they are.

Amplified Bible

How can you say, we are wise, and we have the written law of the Lord [and are learned in its language and teachings]? Behold, the truth is, the lying pen of the scribes has made of the law a falsehood (a mere code of ceremonial observances).

===============

On the other hand, neither Jeremiah the prophet nor Saint Matthew is mentioned therein in the entire Quran.

===============

Now, we have two big issues or two important claims:

1)      The Biblical scholars claim that the Quran is quoted from the Bible.

2)      The Quran claims that the Bible is corrupted.

What do you believe?
