Virtuous, Bless your soul! Had just read the commentaries of Wesley and Peoples Bible and the holy spirit told me the same exact thing! 1. There are no errors in GOD 's Word and 2. The word spoken not written stood out like a bolt of lightning! These so-called scholars are so quick to make accuses, when as you said, they should pray to GOD for the Holy Spirit to lead them to the truth.

Nothing written in the Holy Bible is a mistake/error. Ask God to reveal an understanding to you when reading his Word.

*****Since Jeremiah refers to a God-appointed purchase of a field, the reference to Jeremiah at Matthew 27:9-10 is certainly intentional and not a scribal error. The text of Matthew 27:9-10 says "that which was spoken", not "that which was written", so there is no need to look for the exact quotation in the book of Jeremiah. Jeremiah spoke the prophecy but did not write it. Zechariah then wrote Jeremiah's oral prophecy while omitting the reference to a field because that detail had already been described in Jeremiah 32:6-10.
