Exegesis
In verse 6 the chief priests call the pieces of silver "the price of blood." It is appropriate that this silver is named the price of blood since it was for this price that Jesus's blood was bought. Note that similar language is used to describe how it is that we are saved through Jesus's sacrifice. Acts 20:28 says that Christ purchased "the church of God" with his own blood. It is ironic that Jesus's blood, blood which purchased the salvation of all mankind, was bought for only 30 pieces of silver.
