Passage
Isaiah 7:14-16: "Therefore the
Lord Himself will give you a sign:
Behold, a virgin will be with child
and bear a son, and she will call His
name Immanuel. He will eat curds
and honey at the time He knows
enough to refuse evil and choose
good. For before the boy will know
enough to refuse evil and choose
good, the land whose two kings you
dread will be forsaken."
Micah 5:2: "But as for you,
Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to
be among the clans of Judah, from
you One will go forth for Me to be
ruler in Israel. His goings forth are
from long ago, from the days of
eternity."
Isaiah 9:1-2: "But there will be no
more gloom for her who was in
anguish; in earlier times He treated
the land of Zebulun and the land of
Naphtali with contempt, but later on
He shall make it glorious, by the
way of the sea, on the other side of
Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles. The
people who walk in darkness will
see a great light; Those who live in
a dark land, the light will shine on
them."
Isaiah 9:6-7: "For a child will be
born to us, a son will be given to us;
and the government will rest on His
shoulders. And His name will be
called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince
of Peace. There will be no end to
the increase of His government or
of peace, on the throne of David
and over his kingdom, to establish
it and to uphold it with justice and
righteousness from then on and
forevermore. The zeal of the Lord
of hosts will accomplish this."
Isaiah 11:1-4: "Then a shoot will
spring from the stem of Jesse, and a
branch from his roots will bear
fruit. And the Spirit of the Lord
will rest on Him, the spirit of
wisdom and understanding, the
spirit of counsel and strength, the
spirit of knowledge and the fear of
the Lord, and He will not judge by
what His eyes see, nor make a
decision by what His ears hear; but
with righteousness He will judge
the poor, and decide with fairness
for the afflicted of the earth; and He
will strike the earth with the rod of
His mouth, and with the breath of
His lips He will slay the wicked."
Isaiah 11:10, 12: "Then it will
come about in that day that the
nations will resort to the root of
Jesse, who will stand as a signal for
the peoples; and His resting place
will be glorious. And He will lift
up a standard for the nations, and
will assemble the banished ones of
Israel, and will gather the dispersed
of Judah from the four corners of
the earth."
Isaiah 29:14: "Therefore behold, I
will once again deal marvelously
with this people, wondrously
marvelous; and the wisdom of their
wise men shall perish, and the
discernment of their discerning men
shall be concealed."
Isaiah 42:1-4: "Behold, My
Servant, whom I uphold; My
chosen one in whom My soul
delights. I have put My Spirit upon
Him; He will bring forth justice to
the nations. He will not cry out or
raise His voice, nor make His voice
heard in the street. A bruised reed
He will not break, and a dimly
burning wick He will not
extinguish; He will faithfully bring
forth justice. He will not be
disheartened or crushed, until He
has established justice in the earth;
and the coastlands will wait
expectantly for His law."
Isaiah 42:6-7, 9: "I am the Lord, I
have called you in righteousness, I
will also hold you by the hand and
watch over you, and I will appoint
you as a covenant to the people, as
a light to the nations, to open blind
eyes, to bring out prisoners from
the dungeon, and those who dwell
in darkness from the prison.
Isaiah 49:5-8: "And now says the
Lord, who formed Me from the
womb to be His Servant, to bring
Jacob back to Him, in order that
Israel might be gathered to Him (for
I am honored in the sight of the
Lord, and My God is My strength),
He says 'It is too small a thing that
You should be My Servant to raise
up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore
the preserved ones of Israel; I will
also make You a light of the nations
so that My salvation may reach to
the end of the earth.' Thus says the
Lord, the Redeemer of Israel, and
its Holy One, to the despised One,
to the One abhorred by the nation,
to the Servant of rulers, 'Kings
shall see and arise, princes shall
also bow down; because of the Lord
who is faithful, the Holy One of
Israel who has chosen You.' Thus
says the Lord, 'In a favorable time I
have answered You, and in a day of
salvation I have helped You; and I
will keep You and give You for a
covenant of the people, to restore
the land, to make them inherit the
desolate heritages."
Isaiah 50:4-7: "The Lord God has
given Me the tongue of disciples,
that I may know how to sustain the
weary one with a word. He
awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear to listen as a
disciple. The Lord God has opened
My ear; and I was not disobedient,
nor did I turn back. I gave My back
to those who strike Me, and My
cheeks to those who pluck out the
beard; I did not cover My face from
humiliation and spitting. For the
Lord God helps Me, therefore, I am
not disgraced; therefore, I have set
My face like flint, and I know that I
shall not be ashamed."
Isaiah 52:13-15: "Behold, My
servant will prosper, He will be
high and lifted up, and greatly
exalted. Just as many were
astonished at you, My people, so
His appearance was marred more
than any man, and His form more
than the sons of men. Thus He will
sprinkle many nations, kings will
shut their mouths on account of
Him; for what had not been told
them they will see, and what they
had not heard they will
understand."
Isaiah 53:2-3: "For He grew up
before Him like a tender shoot, and
like a root out of parched ground;
He has no stately form or majesty
that we should look upon Him, nor
appearance that we should be
attracted to Him. He was despised
and forsaken of men, a man of
sorrows, and acquainted with grief;
and like one from whom men hide
their face, He was despised, and we
did not esteem Him."
Isaiah 52:4-6: "Surely our griefs
He Himself bore, and our sorrows
He carried; yet we ourselves
esteemed Him stricken, smitten of
God, and afflicted. But He was
pierced through for our
transgressions, He was crushed for
our iniquities; the chastening for
our well-being fell upon Him, and
by His scourging we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone
astray, each of us has turned to his
own way; but the Lord has caused
the iniquity of us all to fall on Him.
Isaiah 53:7-9: "He was oppressed
and He was afflicted, yet He did not
open His mouth; like a lamb that is
led to slaughter, and like a sheep
that is silent before its shearers, so
He did not open His mouth. By
oppression and judgment He was
taken away; and as for His
generation, who considered that He
was cut off out of the land of the
living, for the transgression of my
people to whom the stroke was
due? His grave was assigned with
wicked men, yet He was a rich man
in His death, because He had done
no violence, nor was there any
deceit in His mouth."
Isaiah 53:10-12: "But the Lord was
pleased to crush Him, putting Him
to grief; if He would render Himself
as a guilt offering, He will see His
offspring, He will prolong His days,
and the good pleasure of the Lord
will prosper in His hand. As a
result of the anguish of His soul, He
will see it and be satisfied; by His
knowledge the Righteous One, My
Servant, will justify the many, as
He will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will allot Him a portion
with the great, and He will divide
the booty with the strong; because
He poured out Himself to death,
and was numbered with the
transgressors; yet He Himself bore
the sin of many, and interceded for
the transgressors."
Isaiah 61:1-3: "The Spirit of the
Lord God is upon me, because the
Lord has anointed me to bring good
news to the afflicted; He has sent
me to bind up the brokenhearted, to
proclaim liberty to captives, and
freedom to prisoners; to proclaim
the favorable year of the Lord, and
the day of vengeance of our God; to
comfort all who mourn…"
Daniel 7:13-14: "I kept looking in
the night visions, and behold, with
the clouds of heaven One like a Son
of Man was coming, and He came
up to the Ancient of Days and was
presented before Him. And to Him
was given dominion, glory and a
kingdom, that all the peoples,
nations, and men of every language
might serve Him. His dominion is
an everlasting dominion which will
not pass away; and His kingdom is
one which will not be destroyed."
Psalm 22:1, 7-8, 16-18, 34:20:
"My God, my God, why hast Thou
forsaken me? Far from my
deliverance are the words of my
groaning… All who see me sneer
at me; they separate with the lip,
they wag the head, saying, 'Commit
yourself to the Lord; let Him
deliver him; Let Him rescue him,
because He delights in him'… For
dogs have surrounded me; a band of
evildoers has encompassed me;
they pierced my hands and my feet.
I can count all my bones. They
look, they stare at me; they divide
my garments among them, and for
my clothing they cast lots… He
keeps all his bones; not one of them
is broken."
Psalm 110:1,4: "The Lord says to
my Lord: 'Sit at My right hand,
until I make Thine enemies a
footstool for Thy feet'… The Lord
has sworn and will not change His
mind, 'Thou art a priest forever
according to the order of
Melchizedek.'"
Deuteronomy 18:15: "The Lord
your God will raise up for you a
prophet like me [Moses] from
among you, from your countrymen,
you shall listen to him."
Psalm 118:22: "The stone which
the builders rejected has become the
chief corner stone."
Isaiah 8:13-14: "It is the Lord of
hosts whom you should regard as
holy. And He shall be your fear,
and He shall be your dread. Then
He shall become a sanctuary; but to
both the houses of Israel, a stone to
strike and a rock to stumble over,
and a snare and a trap for the
inhabitants of Jerusalem."
Zechariah 9:9: "Rejoice greatly, O
daughter of Zion! Shout in
triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king is coming to you;
He is just and endowed with
salvation, humble, and mounted on
a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of
a donkey."
Malachi 3:1: "Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming," says the Lord of hosts.
Malachi 4:5: "Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. And he will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse."
Psalm 41:9: "Even my close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me."
Zechariah 11:12b-13: "So they weighed out thirty shekels of silver as my wages. Then the Lord said to me, 'Throw it to the potter, that magnificent price at which I was valued by them.' So I took the thirty shekels of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the Lord."

The Lord will form
Messiah in the

sins.
The people will

descendents.
Messiah will be a
priest forever,

priestly order of

gave tithes.

arise, Messiah will
be unique in that He

similar to Moses,
through whom God
brought the first
covenant.
Messiah will be
rejected, yet He will
be the very
foundation of what
God is building.
The Lord God will
Himself become a
sanctuary (a
consecrated place of
refuge) but not to the
nations of Israel and
Judah.

God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser

the right hand of God."
John 4:13-14: "Jesus answered and said to her,

Him.
Hebrews 9:13-15: "For if the blood of goats
and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling
those who have been defiled, sanctify for the
cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the
blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit
offered Himself without blemish to God,
cleanse your conscience from dead works to
serve the living God? And for this reason He
is the mediator of a new covenant…"
John 1:4: "In Him was life, and the life was

wishes…For just as the Father has life in
Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to
have life in Himself."

to release You, and I have authority to crucify
You?" 1 Peter 2:23: "and while being reviled,
He did not revile in return; while suffering, He
uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself
to Him who judges righteously."

found in His mouth."

have both glorified it, and will glorify it
again.'"
Hebrews 10:10,14: "By [God's] will we have
been sanctified through the offering of the
body of Jesus Christ once for all… For by one
offering He has perfected for all time those
who are sanctified."
Colossians 2:13-14: "And when you were
dead in your transgressions and the
uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you
alive together with Him, having forgiven us all
our transgressions, having canceled out the
certificate of debt consisting of decrees against
us and which was hostile to us; and He has
taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the
cross."
After reading this Isaiah passage to those
assembled in the synagogue, Jesus declares, in
Luke 4:21, "Today this Scripture has been
fulfilled in your hearing." John 8:34, 36:
"Jesus answered them, 'Truly, truly, I say to
you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of
sin...If therefore the Son shall make you free,
you shall be free indeed.'" Galatians 5:1: "It
was for freedom that Christ set us free;
therefore keep standing firm and do not be
subject again to a yoke of slavery."
John 10:35-38: "Jesus heard that they had put
him out [excommunicated him]; and finding
him, He said, 'Do you believe in the Son of
Man?' He answered and said, 'And who is He,
Lord, that I may believe in Him?' Jesus said to
him, 'You have both seen Him, and He is the
one who is talking with you.' And he said,
'Lord, I believe.' And he worshiped Him.'"
Philippians 2:8-11: "And being found in
appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by
becoming obedient to the point of death, even
death on a cross. Therefore also God highly
exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name
which is above every name, that at the name of
Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are
in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth,
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Matthew 27:46: "And about the ninth hour
Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli,
Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, My
God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?'"
Matthew 27:39-44: "And those passing by
were hurling abuse at Him, wagging their
heads, and saying, 'You who are going to
destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,
save Yourself! If You are the Son of God,
come down from the cross.' In the same way
the chief priests also, along with the scribes
and elders, were mocking Him, and saying,
'He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He
is the King of Israel; let Him now come down
from the cross, and we shall believe in Him.
He trusts in God, let Him deliver Him now, if
He takes pleasure in Him; for He said, "I am
the Son of God."' And the robbers also who
had been crucified with Him were casting the
same insult at Him."
Acts 2:22-24: "Men of Israel, listen to these
words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to
you by God with miracles and wonders and
signs which God performed through Him in
your midst, just as you yourselves know --
this Man, delivered up by the predetermined
plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to
a cross by the hands of godless men and put
Him to death. And God raised Him up again,
putting an end to the agony of death, since it
was impossible for Him to be held in its
power."
John 19:32-33: "The soldiers therefore came,
and broke the legs of the first man, and of the
other man who was crucified with Him; but
coming to Jesus, when they saw that He was
already dead, they did not break His legs."
John 19:23-24: "The soldiers therefore, when
they had crucified Jesus, took His outer
garments and made four parts, a part to every
soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was
seamless, woven in one piece. They said
therefore to one another, 'Let us not tear it, but
cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be'; that
the Scripture might be fulfilled, 'They divided
My outer garments among them, and for My
clothing they cast lots.'"
Hebrews 3:3: "For He has been counted
worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so
much as the builder of the house has more
honor than the house." Philippians 2:9-10:
"Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and
bestowed on Him the name which is above
every name, that at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow, of those who are in heaven,
and on earth, and under the earth, and that
every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Hebrews 6:20: "Jesus has entered [within the
veil of the holiest place of the temple] as a
forerunner for us, having become a high priest
forever according to the order of
Melchizedek."
Deuteronomy 34:10 (written before Jesus):
"Since then no prophet has risen in Israel like
Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face."
Hebrews 3:5-6: "Now Moses was faithful in
all His house as a servant, for a testimony of
those things which were to be spoken later; but
Christ was faithful as a Son over His house…"
First Corinthians 3:11: "For no man can lay a
foundation other than the one which is laid,
which is Jesus Christ."
Matthew 11:28-30: "Come to Me, all who are
weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you
rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from
Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and
you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke
is easy, and my load is light." John 14:6:
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the
truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father
but through Me.'"
First Corinthians 1:24: "For indeed Jews ask
for signs, and Greeks search for wisdom; but
we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling
block, and to Gentiles foolishness, but to those
who are the called, both Jews and Greeks,
Christ the power of God and the wisdom of
God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser
than men, and the weakness of God is stronger
than men."
Mark 15:25-26: "And it was the third hour
when they crucified Him. And the inscription
of the charge against Him read, "THE KING
OF THE JEWS."
Matthew 21:1-3: "And when they had
approached Jerusalem and had come to
Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus
sent two disciples, saying to them, 'Go into the
village opposite you, and immediately you will
find a donkey tied there and a colt with her;
untie them, and bring them to Me. And if
anyone says something to you, you shall say,
"The Lord has need of them," and immediately
he will send them.'"
John 1:11-12: "He came to His own, and those
who were His own did not receive Him. But
as many as received Him, to them He gave the
right to become children of God, even to those
who believe in His name."
Luke 7:27: "This [John the Baptist] is the one about whom it is written, 'Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way for You.'"
Luke 19:45: "And He entered the temple and began to cast out those who were selling."
Hebrews 9:15a: "And for this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant…"
Luke 1:17: "And it is he [John the Baptist] who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous; so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."
Luke 19:41-44: "And when He [Jesus] approached, He saw the city [Jerusalem] and wept over it, saying, "If you had known in this day, even you [the name 'Jerusalem' means 'Foundation of Peace'], the things which make for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes. For the days shall come upon you when your enemies will throw up a bank before you, and surround you, and hem you in on every side, and will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation." Indeed, Jerusalem was sacked by Rome less than 40 years after Israel rejected and crucified Jesus, and the Jews were without a homeland for nearly 2000 years.
John 13:18, 21b, 26: "'I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, "He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me. Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me.' Jesus therefore answered, 'That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.' So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot."
Matthew 26:14-16: "Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests, and said, 'What are you willing to give me to deliver Him up to you?' And they weighed out to him thirty pieces of silver. And from then on he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Him."
Matthew 27:3-7: "Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, 'I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.' But they said, 'What is that to us? See to that yourself!' And he threw the pieces of silver into the sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, 'It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood.' And they counseled together and with the money bought the Potter's Field as a burial place for strangers."
