D. under the word Jeremiah, I. 6]: Matthew 2:17; Matthew 16:14; Matthew 27:9 (in the last passage his name is given by mistake, for the words quoted are found in Zechariah 11:12f; [cf. Prof. Brown in the Journal of the Society for Biblical Literature and Exegesis for December, 1882, p. 101ff; Toy, Quot. in N.
