Are the 30 pieces of discarded silver in Zechariah's prophecy the same silver...

...Judas was paid to be a traitor? Zechariah 11:12,13
I said to them, "If it is good in your sight, give me my wages; but if not, never mind!" So they weighed out thirty shekels of silver as my wages.

Then the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter, that magnificent price at which I was valued by them." So I took the thirty shekels of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

No. In fact in Matthew (27:9) it says that it was from the book of Jeremiah, not Zechariah.

But, there is nothing about silver pieces in Jeremiah.

OOPS!


And then there's the problem of what Judas actually DID with the silver pieces.

Did he take the silver pieces from the priests and acquire a field with them as it says in Acts 1:18 ?

Or did he return the silver pieces and then hang himself, as it says in Matthew 27:5 ?



See, this is what happens when one people steals another people's holy book and tries to back-engineer prophecies about their pagan virgin human sacrifice (Jesus) into the original where it doesn't exist.
 
Of course. Also the field that Jeremiah bought for himself is equivalent to the potter's field of Judas fame.

Jer 32:8 So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that [is] in Anathoth, which [is] in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance [is] thine, and the redemption [is] thine; buy [it] for thyself. Then I knew that this [was] the word of the LORD.
