These

he is not here, but is risen: remember what he told you, when he was yet in Galilee,

the son of man must suffer many indignities: be rejected by the rulers, the chief priests, and Scribes: be put to death: and the third day be raised again.

Afterwards Jesus took the twelve aside, and said to them, now we are going to Jerusalem where all that the prophets have writ concerning the son of man shall be accomplished.

from that time began Jesus to let his disciples know that he should go to Jerusalem, there suffer many indignities from the senators, chief priests, and scribes, be put to death, and be raised again the third day.

Some time after, while they were in Galilee, Jesus said to them, the son of man will be betrayed into the hands of men:

we are now going to Jerusalem, where the son of man will be betrayed to the chief priests, and to the Scribes, who will condemn him to die,

At length he began to inform them, that the son of man should suffer many indignities, be rejected by the chief priests, Scribes, and senators, be even put to death, and after three days should rise again.

in the mean time he gave his disciples this intimation, "the son of man is going to be delivered up into the hands of men, who will put him to death, and three days after he is put to death he shall rise again."

now, said he, we are going to Jerusalem, where the son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests, and to the Scribes, who will condemn him to die, and deliver him to the Gentiles.

That all

was not the Messiah to have suffer'd thus, and after that enter into his glory?

for this is the time of vengeance, when all that is writ, shall be accomplished.

but how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, which say, that thus it must happen?

they said therefore among themselves, let us not rent it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: so that the scripture was fulfilled, which said, "they parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots." this was what the soldiers actually did.

but thus it is that God has accomplished what he had foretold by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer.

after they had accomplished all that was written concerning him, he was taken down from the cross, and laid in a sepulchre:

I acquainted you chiefly with what I received myself, that Christ died for our sins, as the scriptures foretold:

In the law

but as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lifted up:

for had you believed Moses, you would have believed me: since he has spoke of me in his writings.

for Moses said to the fathers, "a prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you, of your brethren, like unto me; observe whatever he shall say to you.

this is that Moses who said to the children of Israel, "a prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear."

besides Moses throughout his whole administration acted in quality of a servant, representing to the people what he was order'd to say.

For this Melchisedec was both king of Salem, and a priest of the most high God; 'twas he who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him:

the holy spirit showing thereby, that the way to the holy of holys, was not yet open, while the first tabernacle was standing.

For the law being only an allusion to a future dispensation that was more excellent, and not an exact imitation of such a state, cannot by the anniversary sacrifices, which are offered, entirely purify those that present themselves.

In the prophets

then beginning at Moses he explain'd all the passages there, and in all the prophets, which related to himself.

In the psalms

You search the scriptures, for you think by their means to have eternal life, and they are the very writings which do testify of me.

Paul, as was his custom, us'd to go there, and for three sabbath-days discours'd to the Jews from the scriptures,

when the spirit of Christ inform'd the minds of the prophets of his future sufferings, and of the glorious consequences, they were solicitous to know the circumstances of the times pointed at:

then I fell at his seet to worship him: but he said to me, "forbear: I am the servant of God, as you and your brethren are, that bear testimony to Jesus: worship God: for to give testimony to Jesus, is the very design of prophecy."

General references

for all the prophets and the law were your guides, till the coming of John.

but how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, which say, that thus it must happen?
