Prophecies fulfilled by Jesus (#10)

33. That he would be stared at in death.

OT, Zechariah 12:10 – And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication.  They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

NT,  Matthew 27:36-37 – And sitting down they kept watch over him there.  Above his head they placed the written charge against him: This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.

34.  That he would be buried with the rich.

OT, Isiah 53:9 – He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence.

NT, Matthew 27:57-60 – As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.  Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.  Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock.  He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance and went away.
