Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 27:25

"And all the people answered and said, His blood [be] on us, and on our children." — Matthew 27:25 (ASV)

All the people willingly took upon themselves the guilt of the murder of our dear Lord, His blood be on us, and on our children.

This fearful curse must have been remembered by many when the soldiers of Titus spared neither age nor sex, and the Jewish capital became the veritable Aceldama, the field of blood. That self-imposed curse still rests upon unbelieving Israel, and until she accepts the Messiah whom she then rejected, the brand will remain upon the deluded nation’s brow.

Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children (Matthew 27:25).

All the people willingly took upon themselves the guilt of the murder of our dear Lord: His blood be on us, and on our children.

This fearful imprecation must have been remembered by many when the soldiers of Titus spared neither age nor sex, and the Jewish capital became the veritable Aceldama, the field of blood.
