At Matthew 27:9, the Greek text says that Jeremiah prophesied the words about the thirty pieces of silver and the potter’s field. But they were actually written by the Prophet Zechariah (see Zechariah 11:12, 13), so some error in the Greek text is apparent. However, in the Aramaic text there is no name given for the Prophet who wrote the words; it just says ‘the Prophet.’

Therefore, I suspect that the Aramaic texts are more accurate than the existing Greek texts in the proper rendering of the book of Matthew (see the link http://www.aramaicpeshitta.com/AramaicNT...tich27.pdf).

The Hebrew version of Matthew says Zechariah. The Hebrew is interesting because it brings out Jewish puns and word connections that other versions miss. Perhaps the Hebrew version is the most accurate?
