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

interpreting and pointing out that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer, and to arise from the dead, and [saying] that "This is the Christ, Jesus, whom I proclaim to you."

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.

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

And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me."

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

and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

Concerning this salvation the prophets have sought out and inquired carefully, having prophesied of the grace [that would come] to you,

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 I fell before his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "See [that you do] not! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

[ 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.

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.

Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; and bow down their back continually.

Let their habitation be made desolate; and let there be no inhabitant in their tents;

Add iniquity to their iniquity; and let them not come into Your righteousness.

I am poor and sorrowful; but the salvation of Your countenance has helped me.

and [this] shall please God more than a young calf having horns and hoofs.

For the Lord hears the poor, and does not despise His prisoners.

For God will save Zion, and the cities of Judah shall be built; and [men] shall dwell there, and inherit it.

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.
