If we read a Russian novel and there it says he gave the top ten, then we know that this is not 10 dollars, not 10 kopecks, but 10 rubles. If this is an American novel, then $10, if French, then francs, etc. WHAT CURRENCY WAS GOVERNED IN ISRAEL? Jesus pays tribute to the temple to the collectors of didrahm (Mt 17:24-27), not shekels (although the didrahm is equal to the shekel, the shekel was the pay). Mt 22:19 Show me the coin to which you are paid. They brought him a denarius. He did not say which coin it was, everyone knew that it was a denarius. Jesus told parables, mostly using denarius as an example, only once a drachma: a parable of 10 drachmas or a lost drachma (Lk 15:8-10). 2 times we meet the drachma, in all other cases He speaks of denarii, but the shekel is not mentioned in the New Testament at all. OK, These were rather denarii or drachmas. And since they are of equal value, we know that Judas received a salary in 30 working days. One person could live on this for about 1 year. Still there is an opinion that Judas was paid by shekels. It was a temple and they could well pay with shekels. Because, as in Hebrew, money and silver are one word. In this case, it was paid twice as much. But this is not 10-100 times. So we know the approximate amount.

The only people carrying copper were to God, because unlike the lame God does not see, and the lame would have been It is a shame to look into the eyes. But Jesus sat down by the treasury and WATCHED HOW THE PEOPLE PLANE COPPER.
