Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord’s doing, And it is marvelous in our eyes’?

Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?”

But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.

Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone.

Jesus answered and said to them, “Are you not therefore mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God?

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”

So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with the transgressors.”

And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

The Scriptures Opened

Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.”

And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

Therefore, when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said.

You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

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

If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

Jesus Identifies His Betrayer

“I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.’

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,” that the Scripture might be fulfilled which says: “They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.” Therefore the soldiers did these things.

It Is Finished

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!”

For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.”

And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.”

For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.
