Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?

But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God.

But how then should the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?”

But all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.

Have you not read this Scripture: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone;

Jesus said to them, “Is this not the reason you are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God?

Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the Scriptures be fulfilled.”

And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

Scripture Must Be Fulfilled in Jesus

And he said to them, “When I sent you out with no moneybag or knapsack or sandals, did you lack anything?” They said, “Nothing.”

For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.”

And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

They said to each other, “Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?”

Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken—

I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.’

While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

so they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be.” This was to fulfill the Scripture which says, “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.” So the soldiers did these things,

The Death of Jesus

After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), “I thirst.”

For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken.”

And again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they have pierced.”

for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
