1- Our Master Yahya, peace and blessings be upon him, was considered a prophet by everyone, so there was no disagreement about him, meaning that his killing would not shake the faith of his followers.
We read from the Gospel of Mark:
11:31 Then they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did you not believe him?
11:32 And if we say, “From the people, ” “they feared the people, because everyone held John to be a prophet indeed.”
From the Gospel of Luke:
20:5 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say, Why then did you not believe him?
20:6 And if we say, “From men ,” all the people will stone us, for they are confident that John is a prophet.
From the Gospel of Matthew:
Matthew 21:25 The baptism of John, from where? Was it from heaven or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did you not believe him?
Matthew 21:26 And if we say, “From men, ” “We fear the people, for all hold John as a prophet.”
2- But as for Christ, peace be upon him, there was a dispute about whether he was a prophet or a magician, so the priests tried to prove that he was a cursed magician by placing him on the cross.
A- The Jewish priests claimed that Christ, peace be upon him, was a magician:-
God Almighty gave Jesus, son of Mary, peace be upon him, many miracles to prove to them that he is the Messenger of God Almighty (John 11:42),
but the Jews and their priests denied him and claimed that what he was doing was the actions of a magician assisted by Satan and that he was not a prophet.
We read from the Gospel of Mark:
3:22 ((But the scribes)) who came down from Jerusalem ((said, “He has Beelzebub, and by the prince of demons he casts out demons”))
and also:
3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and the blasphemies wherewith they blaspheme
: 3:29 But he that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit shall never have forgiveness, but shall be in danger of everlasting condemnation : 3:30 ((For they said, He hath an unclean spirit)) and also from the Gospel of John: 7:20 The multitude answered , ((And they said, Thou hast a demon)) who seeketh to kill thee? And also: 8:48 The Jews answered and said unto him, say we not well that thou art a Samaritan , ((and hast a demon)) and also: 10:19 And there arose again a division among the Jews because of these words. 10:20 And many of them said, “He has a demon,” and he is raving. Why do you listen to him? 10:21 Others said, “These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?” It is clear that there was a dispute among the children of Israel about the Messiah, peace and blessings be upon him, as to whether he was a prophet or a magician. This dispute did not exist regarding our master John, peace and blessings be upon him (John the Baptist). Therefore, they wanted to prove that he was a magician aided by the devil and to bring down punishment upon him because of this claim.
B- The Jews wanted to put Jesus, peace be upon him, on the cross to prove that he was a magician and not a prophet, so that his followers would abandon him because they considered the crucified person to be cursed:
We read from the Book of Deuteronomy:
21:23 His body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall bury him that day, for he who is hanged is cursed by God. You shall not defile your land, which the LORD your God gives you as an inheritance.
We also read from the Book of Exodus:
22:18 Do not let a witch live.
From the Book of Deuteronomy:
18:10 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or anyone who practices divination, or who practices sorcery, or who practices omens, or who practices magic.
18:11 Nor one who casts spells, or who consults a medium or a spiritist, or who consults the dead.
18:12 “For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God has driven them out from before you .”
From the Book of Leviticus:
19:31 Do not turn to mediums, nor seek out spiritists, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.
This is how the Jews thought that the crucified person was cursed, and so if Christ, peace be upon him, was placed on the cross, this would confirm what the Jewish priests claimed about him, that he was a magician assisted by Satan and that he was not a prophet
. Even if he rose from the dead after that, they would say that the one who did that was Satan and that the one who appeared was Satan who took the form of him. He originally raised the dead by the permission of God Almighty, but despite that, some of them believed that he was a magician assisted by Satan. So the matter ended for the Jews when anyone was placed on the cross.
Therefore, the Jewish priests tried to prove that he was a magician to the children of Israel, who believed him when they saw the miracles he performed.
We read in the Gospel of John:
9:29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he is from.
9:30 The man answered and said to them, “Why, here is a marvelous thing, that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has opened my eyes.”
9:31 And we know that God does not hear sinners. But if anyone fears God and does His will, him He hears.
9:32 Since the world began it has not been heard that anyone opened the eyes of one born blind.
9:33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
9:34 They answered and said to him, “You were completely born in sins, and do you teach us?” So they cast him out.
3- The glorification of Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, is that the Jewish priests were unable to catch him to kill him, as this was a motive for the masses to believe in him, which means that their ability to catch him means that his followers will turn away from him.
The Gospel of John explained what the glorification of Christ, peace and blessings be upon him,
was. It was not as Christians believe because of what the priests and pastors put in their minds after distorting the book
. Rather, the glorification of Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, was by saving him from the hands of the Jews, so they could not seize him or kill him.
We read in the Gospel of John that the salvation of Christ, peace be upon him, from the hands of the Jewish priests on the Feast of Tabernacles made people believe that he was indeed the Christ:
7:25 Then some of the people of Jerusalem said , “Is not this he whom they seek to kill?”
7:26 “And behold, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him.” Did the rulers “know for certain that this is truly the Christ?”
Then we read:
7:30 “And they sought to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him,” because his hour had not yet come
. 7:31 “And many of the people believed in him,” and said, “When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these which he has done?”
The people were amazed, for despite the desire of the Jewish priests to kill him, they let him speak boldly, and this means that he is the Christ. Then the priests sought to seize him, but they were unable to, so this was a motive for many to believe in him. “This is glorification,” as he was a sign to the people and evidence that he was the Christ, and therefore their desire increased. The Pharisees wanted to arrest him so that his followers would turn away from him, but Christ, peace be upon him, challenged them that they would not be able to do so and that when they sought him (to kill him), they would not find him, as he would be in a place they could not reach (where the Lord of the Worlds would raise him up). We read: 7:32 “The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him. So the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to arrest him.” 7:33 Then Jesus said to them, “I am with you a little while longer, and then I go to him who sent me.” 7:34 “You will seek me and not find me, and where I am, you cannot come.”
4- Jesus, peace be upon him, prayed to God Almighty to save him from the Jews for the sake of his followers so that they would not doubt him and think that he was a magician.
The disciples were originally from the Children of Israel and they had the same belief that the crucified was cursed.
Therefore, Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, knew that if he was placed on the cross, the faith of his followers would be shaken because it would make the Jews of that era believe that he was a magician and that what he was doing was magic.
Therefore, he directed a prayer to the Lord of the Worlds to save him from the evil of the Jews so that their faith in him would not be shaken and their certainty would increase that he was indeed a prophet sent by the Lord of the Worlds to the Children of Israel.
So, God Almighty took the life of Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, and raised him up and spared him the evil of the Jews. This was a sign for the Children of Israel in that era, proving the truth of his message. This was the glorification intended in the texts of the Gospels.
( Note: To understand a text written by the Jews, we must realize how the Jews thought in that era, and not as the worshippers of the hypostases try to think based on the beliefs that were placed in his mind.
So glorification for the Jews is not the same as the glorification that the thought of the worshippers of the hypostases created later, and the lesson in the end is in the way the Jews think because they are the ones to whom Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, was sent and they are the ones to whom he spoke and showed them miracles, and as we saw in the second chapter the intention of the Jews in that era from the word Greeks, we must also understand the meaning of glorification for the Jews in that era because the writer was originally from the children of Israel)
5- From the Gospel of John, the glorification of Christ, peace be upon him, was through his rescue from the Jews and not being crucified.
If we focus on the texts, we will find that the true meaning of glorification that the writer of the Gospel of John intended was the salvation of Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, from the hands of the Jews. However, because of the false texts that were added to the original text, confusion occurred in understanding.
A- To glorify Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, will be to condemn the evil world and Satan.
Where he says:
12:28 Father, glorify your name. Then a voice came from heaven : “I have glorified and will glorify again.”
Then he says:
12:31 “Now is the judgment of this world. Now shall the ruler of this world be cast out.”
That is, glorifying Christ, peace be upon him, is condemning Satan.
The question is: How will Satan’s judgment be according to what the Gospel writer and the disciples understood???
B- The judgment of Satan (i.e. the glorification of Christ) according to the disciples’ understanding will be by the ascension of Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, to the Lord of the Worlds and his rescue from the hands of the Jews, not by his ascension on the cross or his resurrection.
We read from the Gospel of John how the judgment of Satan will be:
12:32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.
12:33 He said this referring to the kind of death he was going to die.
The lifting up from the earth meant that God Almighty would take him and raise him up to Him, not by lifting him up on the cross. The evidence for this is the disciples’ understanding of what Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, said,
as they understood the sentence to mean his death. Then we find him confirming the disciples’ understanding of the matter of his lifting up, that he would not be with them and depart without return, and that they would not see him again after his lifting up, as in verse (35)
where he says:
12:34 The crowd answered him, “We have heard from the law that Christ remains forever; how can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up?” Who is this Son of Man ?
12:35 Then Jesus said to them, “Yet a little while longer is the light with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. And he who walks in darkness does not know where he goes.
12:36 While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light. ” Jesus said this and then went away and disappeared from them.
C- The inconsistency between what Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, told the disciples that they would not see him again after his ascension and the story of the resurrection from the dead and their seeing him after that.
What confirms the falsity of the crucifixion stories and that the writer of the Gospel meant by glorification that God Almighty would take the soul of Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, and raise him up to Him
is the contradiction between what Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, said that they would not see him again after his ascension (John 12:35) and the story of the resurrection after the crucifixion and the disciples seeing him,
which confirms that this story was added to the Gospel at a later time and that the writer of the original Gospel did not write it.
D- Christ, peace be upon him, completed his work and message that the Lord of the Worlds assigned him before the story of the crucifixion and redemption (added to the Gospel after the time of its original writing),
as we read in the Gospel of John: 17:4 I have glorified you on the earth (((I have finished the work that you gave me to do))) meaning the message that God Almighty assigned him, he has completed and accomplished. S- (((The timing)) of Christ’s glorification, peace be upon him (i.e. the judgment of Satan) will be when the Jews seek him and they will not be able to reach him (Gospel of John 13:31 to 13:33) where he says: 13:31 And when he had gone out, Jesus said (((Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him))) 13:32 If God has been glorified in him, then God will glorify him in himself and will glorify him quickly 13:33 My children, I am with you a little while longer, and you will seek me (((And as I said to the Jews, Where I am going, you cannot come))) I say to you even now The question is: When and why were the Jews seeking him??? Because the Jews would not find Jesus, peace be upon him, when they sought him to kill him, as he would go to the One who sent him, who is the Lord of the worlds (i.e. his ascension to the Lord of the worlds) (John 7:32 to 7:36) From the Gospel of John, the Jews wanted to kill Jesus, peace be upon him: 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me? And also: 7:32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering about him (((So the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him)))) But Jesus, peace be upon him, challenged them that they would not be able to reach him when they sought him to kill him, as he says: 7:33 Then Jesus said to them, “I am with you a little while longer, and then I go to him who sent me.” 7:34 (((You will seek me and not find me, and where I am, you cannot come)))) This confirms that His intended ascension in the Gospel of John 12 is his ascension to the Lord of the Worlds, not his ascension on the cross, meaning that the disciples’ understanding of the meaning of ascension was correct.
This means that the time when the Jews will search for Christ, peace be upon him, to kill him and will not find him (John 7:32 to 7:36) = the time of his ascension to the Lord of the Worlds (John 7:33) = his glorification (John 13:31 to 13:33) = the judgment of Satan (John 12:28, 12:31) = his salvation from the evil of the Jews = no crucifixion and no redemption
6- The writer of the letters attributed to Paul’s confession that the Jews rejected the idea of the cross for salvation.
We see clearly from the letters attributed to Paul, which were promoting the idea that the one who was placed on the cross was Christ, peace be upon him (which is the same desire of the Jewish priests to mislead the children of Israel),
and the writer of the letter acknowledges the Jews’ rejection of the idea of the cross.
We read from the First Epistle to the Corinthians:
1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Also: -
1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness.
A- The attempt of the writer of the letters attributed to Paul to justify his ideas by deception in interpreting texts whose meaning the Jews understood well, so only a few believed in him, and most of them were Hellenized Jews:
Despite the attempts of the writer of the letters attributed to Paul to convince the children of Israel of his idea of the cross, by deceiving the interpretation of the texts of the book and trying to delude the reader that our master Abraham, peace be upon him, was justified by faith without works (Romans 4:1 to 4:25), (Galatians 2:16, 3:5, 3:6, 3:13) , and thus the importance is for faith alone without works (Galatians 5:19 to 5:22) , the Jew who understood well the meaning of those texts rejected all those attempts at deception. We read from the Epistle of James that our master Abraham, peace be upon him, was justified by works with faith and that there is no faith without works and that the demons believe that God Almighty is one but they do not work (James 2:18 to 2:24).
Also from the Book of Sirach we read:
44:20 Abraham was a great father of many nations, and there was none like him in glory . And he kept the law of the Most High, and made a covenant with him .
44:21 And he made the covenant in his body, and when tested, he was found faithful.
From the Book of Judith:
8:22 They should remember how our father Abraham was tested and after being tried with many hardships became a friend of God .
8:23 ((And so was Isaac, and so was Jacob, and so was Moses, and all whom God had pleased, went through many tribulations and remained faithful.))
Therefore, no one from the children of Israel believed or believed in this deception and these ideas except very few numbers (2 Timothy 1:15, 3:11), (2 Corinthians 1:8, 2:10)
The majority of them were diaspora Jews who had Hellenistic thought and accepted those philosophies and ideas, which the Maccabees had previously fought.
This confirms the truth of what was mentioned in the Gospel of John on the tongue of Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, that his salvation from the Jews was for the sake of his followers (John 12:30).
B- The goals of the Jewish priests met with those of the writer of the Epistle to the Galatians, and the error was one:
The goal of the Jewish priests in spreading lies about the crucifixion of Christ, peace be upon him, was to cast doubt on the group that believed him, and also to distance any Israelite from believing in him, and the result was disbelief and not submitting to the will of the Lord of the Worlds by following the prophet whom he sent to them.
As for the goal of the writer of the Epistle to the Galatians, it was to cast doubt on the apostles and their correct teachings that Christ, peace be upon him, taught them, and also to use those lies in an attempt to convince the Jews of the unimportance of the works of the law (Galatians 2:16, 3:13).
Thus, the Israelite who followed the method and ideas of the pagan Greeks accepted
it, and justified it by saying that this was the best way to reunite the intellectually dispersed children of Israel once again.
The result was also not submitting to the will of the Lord of the Worlds by following all of his law, which he stressed the necessity of following through the tongue of his servant and messenger, Christ, son of Mary, peace be upon him ( Matthew 5:17 to 5:22 ).
We read from the Gospel of Luke:
16:17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail.
And so on. The true disciples of Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, taught people the permanence of the law and the importance of works with faith, and that our master Abraham, peace and blessings be upon him, was not justified by faith alone but also by works (James 2:18 to 2:24).
C- It is clear in the Epistle to the Galatians that what the writer of the epistle was saying contradicted what the apostles (disciples) were saying, especially on the issue of the crucifixion:The writer of that letter was attacking the disciples (Galatians 2:11 to 2:14) because they were holding on to the law (Galatians 4:21, 5:2, 5:4)
and then he justifies their holding on to the law by saying that it was so that they would not be persecuted by the cross (Galatians 6:12) and that he was the one who boasted about the cross (6:14). The meaning of attributing to himself the boasting about the cross is that the disciples did not preach about the cross and did not boast about it, and he claims that they were doing that because they were afraid because the cross was a stumbling block to the Jews (1 Corinthians 1:23). But the truth is that they were doing and saying that because it is the truth because Christ, peace be upon him, was not originally crucified.
- In brief: -
It was that God Almighty took the life of Christ, peace be upon him, and raised him up and spared him the evil of the Jews,
so they could never put him on the cross. This was a sign for the Children of Israel to increase the faith of his followers.
However, the Jewish priests and their followers tried to cast doubt on him and liken him to the Children of Israel so that they would not follow Christ, peace
be upon him. They tried to make them believe that the one who was arrested was Christ, peace be upon him.
If the idea of crucifixion and redemption was originally correct, then why was it stated in the Book of Deuteronomy that the crucified person was cursed??!!!
It would have been better not to have included this text so that it would be easier for the Jews to believe in the crucified one who would redeem them.
Would God Almighty send a prophet to a people to be a stumbling block for them?
God Almighty sends prophets to guide their people and gives them many opportunities for that, not to be a stumbling block for them.
Also, in this case, the idea of crucifixion and redemption became to save the Jewish priests from their predicament before the children of Israel in that era, not to save humanity.
Now we see the truth that the Holy Quran tells us:Allah the Almighty said: (When Allah said, “O Jesus, son of Mary, remember My favor upon you and upon your mother when I supported you with the Holy Spirit so that you spoke to the people in the cradle and in maturity, and when I taught you the Book and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel, and when you created from clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My permission, then you breathed into it and it became a bird by My permission, and you healed the blind and the leper. With My permission, and when you bring out the dead with My permission
And when I held back the Children of Israel from you when you came to them with clear proofs, then those who disbelieved among them said, “This is not but obvious magic.”
(110) And when I inspired the disciples, “Believe in Me and in My Messenger,” they said, “We believe, and bear witness that we are Muslims.” (111)
God Almighty is true (Surat Al-Ma’idah)
From the interpretation of Al-Tahrir and Al-Tanwir by Muhammad Al-Tahir Ibn Ashur:
(And their claims of denial of him were limited to their saying (This is nothing but obvious magic), because they intended by that claim to seek to kill him, because the ruling on a magician in Jewish law is death, since magic is considered unbelief by them, since it was the work of idol worshippers. The Torah linked magic and the divination of jinn with polytheism, as stated in the Book of Leviticus in the twentieth chapter.)
The story of the crucifixion in the Gospels was a rumor that was added to the Gospels at a later time. The writers of the Gospels did not know anything about it.
The one who added it to the Gospels was not present at the time of Christ, peace be upon him.
Therefore, we find many contradictions in the story of the crucifixion between the four Gospels.
There is other evidence that it was written at a later time and not at the time of the disciples
. This evidence is:
A- The interpretation of the custom of releasing a prisoner on a Jewish holiday means that the time of writing this story was delayed until after the end of that custom:
We notice in the story of the arrest of Jesus the presence of an explanation for a custom that was on the Jewish holiday, which was the custom of releasing a prisoner in Jerusalem. This means that the text was written after the end of that custom
. We read from the Gospel of Matthew:
Matthew 27:13 Then Pilate said to him, “Do you not hear how many things they testify against you?”
Matthew 27:14 But he did not answer him even one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.
Matthew 27:15 (Now the governor was accustomed at the feast to release to the people one prisoner whom they wanted.)
Matthew 27:16 And they had at that time a notorious prisoner named Barabbas.
Matthew 27:17 And when they were gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you want me to release to you, Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
Matthew 27:18 For he knew that they had delivered him up out of envy.
We find the same thing in the Gospel of Mark, where we read:
15:6 And at every feast he released to them one prisoner whom they asked for.
15:7 Now one called Barabbas was bound with his fellow insurrectionists, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
In the Gospel of Luke:
23:17 And he was compelled to release one to them at every feast.
23:18 Then they cried out together, saying, Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas.
In the Gospel of John, it was said by Pilate:
18:38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews and said to them, “I find no fault in him at all.”
18:39 Now you have a custom that I should release one to you at the Passover. Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?
The texts clearly speak of a custom that did not exist at the time the story was written in the Gospels. It is certain that in the year 138 AD, when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and built a pagan city in its place and dispersed the Jews, this meant the end of that custom , which means that the story was written after the year 138 AD, which raises many doubts about the authenticity of its events.
B- The custom of releasing a prisoner on a Jewish holiday cannot be interpreted for the sake of the Gentiles, as the Gospels are directed to the children of Israel:
It cannot be claimed that the interpretation of this custom was for the sake of the Gentiles because the ones who applied this custom to the Jews were the Gentile Romans. In addition to this, these Gospels were originally directed to the Jews and not to the Gentiles as Christian scholars claim (for more, see Chapter Two - Section Six).
Knowing that the Gospel of Matthew is acknowledged by Christian scholars to be directed to the Jews, at the same time we find in it an explanation of the custom of releasing a prisoner,
meaning that the explanation was due to the end of that custom and the lack of awareness by contemporaries of the time when those texts were written.
We read from the introduction to Father Antonius Fikry’s interpretation of the Gospel of Matthew:
( St. Matthew wrote his Gospel to the Jews)
I finish
C - The phrase (to this day) confirms that the story of the arrest of Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, and the crucifixion was not written in the same generation contemporary with Christ, peace and blessings be upon him, but at a later time:
We read from the Gospel of Matthew, as he tells us the story of the priests buying the potter’s field and making it a cemetery for strangers with the silver of Judas, who took it from them in exchange for handing over Jesus and calling it the Field of Blood.
We read:
Matthew 27:3 Then when Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that he was condemned, he repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.
Matthew 27:4 saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? See it.
Matthew 27:5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed; and he went and hanged himself.
Matthew 27:6 Then the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, because they are the price of blood.”
Matthew 27:7 So they took counsel together and bought with it the potter’s field, to bury strangers in.
Matthew 27:8 ((Therefore that field was called the Field of Blood to this day ))
The phrase (to this day) in Greek is τῆς σήμερον
This means that this story was written in a time long after the time of the generation that was contemporary with those events.
If this sentence had been written in the same time as the contemporaries of Christ, peace be upon him, he would not have written it at all.
It is the same sentence that was said by Christ, peace be upon him, in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 11, in which he speaks that if the miracles that were performed by his hands had occurred in Sodom, they would have remained (until today). Of course, there was a long period of time between the time of Sodom and Gomorrah and the time of Christ, peace be upon him.
We read in the Gospel of Matthew:
Matthew 11:23 And you, Capernaum, which are exalted to heaven, will be brought down to Sheol. For if the mighty works that were performed in you had been done in Sodom, they would have remained (until today).
The user is
And we see the same method in the books of 1 Chronicles and 2 Chronicles (1 Chronicles 4:41, 4:43, 13:11), (2 Chronicles 5:9, 20:26).
We read from 1 Chronicles:
13:11 Then David was angry because the Lord had broken through to Uzza. And he called that place Perez-Uzza to this day.
And we also read in 2 Chronicles:
10:19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David to this day.
And also:
20:26 And on the fourth day they gathered themselves together in the valley of Berakah, because there they blessed the Lord. Therefore they called the name of that place the valley of Berakah to this day.
In both books, the writer was narrating the events of a long period of time that extended for thousands of years, which he did not live to see.
We will find the same sentence in the first and second books of Kings (1 Kings 10:12, 12:19), (2 Kings 2:22, 10:27, 14:7),
in which the writer was narrating a period of time that extended for hundreds of years, which he did not live to see.
In fact, the entire sentence in (Matthew 27:8) confirms that its author was not a contemporary of those events, but came a long time after them and was writing his personal opinions according to the news he received, whether it was true or false. He was not a witness to those events because he explains why the potter’s field was called the field of blood, while contemporaries were supposed to know the reason and did not need anyone to explain it to them.
