But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.

To the Chief Musician upon aijeleth shahar. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

But you are holy, O you that inhabit the praises of Israel.

They cried unto you, and were delivered: they trusted in you, and were not disappointed.

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

They gaped on me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue clings to my jaws; and you have brought me to the dust of death.

I can count all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

But be not far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste you to help me.

Save me from the lion's mouth: for you have heard me from the horns of the wild oxen.

You that fear the LORD, praise him; all you descendants of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you descendants of Israel.

My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before you.

All the prosperous of earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he has done this.

To the Chief Musician upon shoshannim. A Psalm of David. Save me, O God; for the waters have come in unto my soul.

I am weary from my crying: my throat is dried: my eyes fail while I wait for my God.

O God, you know my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from you.

Because for your sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face.

For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.

I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.

But as for me, my prayer is unto you, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation.

Let not the floodwater overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut its mouth upon me.

And hide not your face from your servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

You have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonor: my adversaries are all before you.

They gave me also gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

The Lord GOD has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned backward.

I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked out the beard: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

Who has believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.

And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

He shall see the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and its end shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is close to me, says the LORD of hosts: strike the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn my hand against the little ones.

And he answered and told them, Elijah truly comes first, and restores all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be treated with contempt.

Then he said unto them, O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it was fit for Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:

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 said, They parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

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, A bone of him shall not be broken.

And again another scripture says, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets who are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.

And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should proclaim light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.

And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified of the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when he testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

And truly the Son of man goes, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

To do whatsoever your hand and your counsel determined before to be done.

Woe unto the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

Then Judas, who had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

Let death seize upon them, and let them go down alive into the grave: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

But you, O God, shall bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in you.

Set you a wicked man over him: and let an accuser stand at his right hand.

Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

Because he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, so let it come into his body like water, and like oil into his bones.

The Son of man indeed goes, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.

Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his insides gushed out.

For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his office let another take.
