Matthew 27:9-66
Jeremiah <2408> [Jeremy.]
The words here quoted are not found in Jeremiah, but in Zechariah; and a variety of conjectures have been formed, in order to reconcile this discrepancy. The most probable opinion seems to be, that the name of the prophet was originally omitted by the Evangelist, and that the name of Jeremiah was added by some subsequent copyist. It is omitted in two MSS. of the twelfth century, in the Syriac, later Persic, two of the Itala, and in some other Latin copies; and what renders it highly probable that the original reading was [dia <\\See definition 1223\\> tou <\\See definition 5120\\> prophetes,] by the prophet, is, that Matthew frequently omits the name of the prophet in his quotations. See ch. 1:22; 2:5, 15; 13:35; 21:4. This omission is approved of by Bengel, Dr. A. Clarke, and Horne.

Mark says wine mingled with myrrh; but as the sour wine used by the Roman soldiers and common people was termed [oinos <\\See definition 3631\\>] wine, and [oxos <\\See definition 3690\\>] vinegar, [vin aigre, French,] is sour wine; and as [chole <\\See definition 5521\\>] gall, is applied to bitters of any kind, it is not difficult to reconcile the two accounts.

That this general darkness was wholly preternatural is evident from this, that it happened at the passover, which was celebrated only at the full moon, a time in which it was impossible for the sun to be eclipsed, natural eclipses happening only at the time of the new moon.
