All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:

and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”

Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah:

And he went and lived in a city called Nazareth, so that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, that he would be called a Nazarene.

For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.’”

so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Christ Came to Fulfill the Law

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
