How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?"

But all this has happened so that the Scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

[ 3:16] And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed, He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.

For the end, concerning the morning aid, A Psalm of David. O God, my God, attend to me; why have You forsaken me? The account of my transgressions is far from my salvation.

But You, O praise of Israel, dwell in a sanctuary.

They cried to You, and were saved; they hoped in You, and were not ashamed.

All that saw Me mocked Me; they spoke with [their] lips, they shook the head, [saying],

For You are He that drew Me out of the womb; My hope from My mother's breasts.

Be not far from Me, for affliction is near; for there is no helper.

They have opened their mouth against Me, as a ravening and roaring lion.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue is glued to My throat; and You have brought Me down to the dust of death.

They counted all My bones; and they observed and looked upon Me.

But You, O Lord, be not far from Me; be ready for My aid.

Save Me from the lion's mouth; and [regard] My lowliness from the horns of the unicorns.

You that fear the Lord, praise Him; all you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him; let all the seed of Israel fear Him.

My praise is of You in the great congregation; I will pay My vows before them that fear Him.

All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before Him.

All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and worshipped; all that go down to the earth shall fall down before Him; my soul also lives to him.

And they shall report His righteousness to the people that shall be born, whom the Lord has made.

For the end, [A Psalm] of David, for alternate [strains]. Save me, O God; for the waters have come in to my soul.

I am weary [of] crying, my throat has become hoarse; my eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.

O God, You know my foolishness; and my transgressions are not hidden from You.

For I have suffered reproach for Your sake; shame has covered my face.

For the zeal of Your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached You have fallen upon me.

And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.

But I [will cry] to You, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of Your mercy hear me, in the truth of Your salvation.

Let not the floodwater drown me, nor let the deep swallow me up; neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.

And turn not away Your face from Your servant; for I am afflicted; hear me speedily.

For You know my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before You.

They gave [me] also gall for my food, and made me drink vinegar for my thirst.

and the instruction of the Lord, even the Lord, opens my ears, and I do not disobey, nor dispute.

I gave my back to scourges, and my cheeks to blows; and I turned not away my face from the shame of spitting;

O Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

But His form was ignoble, and inferior to that of the children of men; [He was] a man in suffering, and acquainted with the bearing of sickness, for His face has turned from [us]; He was dishonored, and not esteemed.

But He was wounded on account of our sins, and was bruised because of our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; [and] by His stripes we are healed.

And He, because of His affliction, opened not His mouth; He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He opened not His mouth.

And I will give the wicked for His burial, and the rich for His death; for He practiced no iniquity, nor craft with His mouth.

the Lord also is pleased to take away from the travail of His soul, to show Him light, and to form [Him] with understanding; to justify the just one who serves many well; and He shall bear their sins.

And after the sixty-two weeks, the Anointed One shall be killed, and there is no judgment in Him. And He shall destroy the city and the sanctuary with the prince that is to come: they shall be cut off with a flood, and to the end of the war which is rapidly completed He shall appoint [the city] to desolations.

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and compassion: and they shall look upon Me, because they have mocked Me, and they shall make lamentation for Him, as for a beloved [friend], and they shall grieve intensely, as for a firstborn son.

Awake, O sword, against My shepherds, and against the man who is My citizen, says the Lord Almighty; strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring My hand upon the little ones.

And answering He said to them, "Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

Then He said to them, "O [you] foolish, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory?"

Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

Therefore they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but let us cast lots for it, whose it will be," so that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: "They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots." Therefore the soldiers did these things.

After this, Jesus, seeing that all things already had been fulfilled, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, He said, "I thirst!"

For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, "Not a bone of His shall be broken."

And again another Scripture says, "They shall look at [Him] whom they pierced."

For those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know Him, nor the voices of the Prophets which are being read according to each Sabbath, condemning [him], they fulfilled [the Scriptures].

And when they finished all the things having been written about Him, taking Him down from the tree, they put [Him] in a tomb.

And according to Paul's custom, he went in to them, and for three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

Therefore, having obtained help from God, until this day I stand, witnessing both to common [people] and great [people], saying nothing except the things which both the prophets and Moses spoke of as being about to happen,

that the Christ was to suffer, that as the first to rise from the dead, He was about to proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."

And having appointed for him a day, many came to him at his house, to whom he was explaining and solemnly testifying to the kingdom of God, and persuading them of the things concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning till evening.

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,

searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ in them was revealing when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories which were to follow:

And indeed the Son of Man goes according to what is determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!"

Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you took, and by lawless hands, nailing [Him] to a cross, you killed [Him];

to do all that Your hand and Your counsel foreordained to come to pass.

Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man through whom the offense comes!

Then Judas, the [one] betraying Him, seeing that He was condemned, feeling regret, returned the thirty silver [coins] to the chief priests and elders,

And throwing the silver [coins] in the sanctuary, he departed; and going away, he hanged himself.

Let death come upon them, and let them go down alive into Hades, for iniquity is in their dwellings, in the midst of them.

But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; bloody and crafty men shall not live out half their days; but I will hope in You, O Lord.

Set a sinner against him; and let an accuser stand at his right hand.

Let his days be few; and let another take his office of overseer.

Let his children wander without a dwelling place and beg; let them be cast out of their habitations.

Let him have no helper; neither let there be anyone to have compassion on his fatherless children.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

Because he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the needy and poor man, [that] he might even slay the broken in heart.

Yea, he put on cursing as a garment, and it has come as water into his bowels, and as oil into his bones.

The Son of Man indeed is going away just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man not to have been born."

When I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. [Those] whom You have given Me I guarded; and not one of them is lost except the son of perdition, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

Men, brothers; it was necessary [for] this Scripture to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus;

(Now this man purchased a field by means of the wages of [his] unrighteousness, and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his intestines gushed out.

For it is written in the book of Psalms: 'Let his homestead become desolate, and let no one dwell in it'; and, 'May another take his office of overseer.'
