- Title
"His Blood Be upon Us": Innocent Blood and the Death of Jesus in Matthew.
- Authors
Hamilton, Catherine Sider
- Abstract
The article discusses two opposing interpretations of the gospel of Matthew 25:25 where the death of Jesus is attributed to the Jewish people. The author states that the traditional interpretation has viewed the Jewish people as collectively guilty for Jesus's death. The author states that by describing Jesus's death in terms of innocent blood, the Jewish people, by an ironic twist, are saved by the blood of Jesus.
