While Artaxerxes was king of Persia, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their co-conspirators wrote in the Aramaic language and script to King Artaxerxes of Persia. Aramaic:

He sent letters to all the provinces of the king, written in the script of that province, and to each people in their own language, ordering that every man should be the master in his house and speak the language of his own people.

The king’s scribes were summoned at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, and everything that Mordecai commanded the Jewish people, the regional authorities, the governors, and the provincial officials of the 127 provinces from India to Cush was written down for each province according to its script, for each people according to their language, and for the Jewish people according to their script and language.

Jesus asked 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 amazing in our eyes.’?

Jesus answered them, “You are mistaken because you don’t know the Scriptures or God’s power,

How, then, would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say this must happen?”

Haven’t you ever read this Scripture: ‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

Jesus answered them, “Aren’t you mistaken because you don’t know the Scriptures or God’s power?

Day after day I was with you in the Temple teaching, yet you didn’t arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”

he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled, as you’ve heard it read aloud.”

Then, beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them all the passages of Scripture about himself.

Then they asked each other, “Our hearts kept burning within us as he was talking to us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us, didn’t they?”

Then he opened their minds so that they might understand the Scriptures.

After he had been raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this. So they believed the Scripture and the statement that Jesus had made.

You examine the Scriptures carefully because you suppose that in them you have eternal life. Yet they testify about me.

The one who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, will have rivers of living water flowing from his heart.”

Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Messiah is from David’s family and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”

If he called those to whom a message from God came ‘gods’ (and the Scripture cannot be disregarded),

I’m not talking about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen. But the Scripture must be fulfilled: ‘The one who ate bread with me has turned against me.’

While I was with them, I protected them by the authority that you gave me. I guarded them, and not one of them became lost except the one who was destined for destruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

So they told each other, “Let’s not tear it. Instead, let’s throw dice to see who gets it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture that says, “They divided my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they threw dice.” So that is what the soldiers did.

Jesus Dies on the Cross

After this, when Jesus realized that everything was now completed, he said (in order to fulfill the Scripture), “I’m thirsty.”
