Prophecies fulfilled by Jesus (#5)

16. That he would be rejected by his own.

OT, Isaiah 53:3 – He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised and we esteemed him not.

NT, John 1:11 – He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

17. That he would make a triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

OT, Zechariah 9:9 – Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

NT, Matthew 21:1-4 – As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethpage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, tell them that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.” This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet.

18. That he would be praised by little children.

OT, Psalm 8:2 – From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

NT, Matthew 21:16 – “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes, have you never read, From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise.”
