Prophecies of the Bible - Part 3

Money to be Returned for a Potter's Field

Zec. 11:13 And the Lord said to me, "Throw it to the potter"-that princely price they set on me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord for the potter. (NKJV)

Mt. 27:3-10 Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief prists and elders, saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!" Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself. But the chief priests took the silver pieces and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the tresury, because they are the price of blood." And they took counsel and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in. Therefore that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the value of Him who was priced, whom they of the children of Israel priced, and gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord directed me." (NKJV)

Judas' Office to be Taken by Another

Ps. 109:7,8 When he is judged, let him be found guilty, and let his prayer become sin. Let his days be few, and let another take his office. (NKJV)

Acts 1:16-20 "Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry." (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is Field of Blood.) For it is written in the book of Psalms: 'Let his habitation be desolate, and let no one live in it': and 'Let another take his office.'

False Witnesses Accuse Him

Ps. 27:12; Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries; for false witnesses have risen against me (NKJV) Ps. 35:11 Fierce witnesses rise up; they ask me things that I do not know. (NKJV)

Mt. 26:59-65 Now the chief priests, the elders, and all the council sought false testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but found none. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they found none. But at last two false witnesses came forward and said, "This fellow said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.'" And the high priest arose and said to Him, "Do you answer nothing? What is it that these men testify against You?" But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God that You tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God." Jesus said to him, "If is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have to witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy! (NKJV)

Meekness of Christ

Ps. 38:13,14; But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; and I am like a mute who does not open his mouth. Thus I am like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth is no respone. (NKJV) Is. 42:2; He will not cry out, nor raise His voice, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street. (NKJV) Isa. 53:7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth. (NKJV)

Mt. 26:62,63a; And the high priest arose and said to Him, "Do You answer nothing? What is it that these men testify against You?" But Jesus kept silent. ... (NKJV) Mt. 27:12-14; And while He was being accused by the chief priests and the elders, He answered nothing. Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?" And He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly. (NKJV) Mk. 15: 1-5; Immediately, in the morning, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council; and they bound Jesus, led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate. Then Pilate asked Him, "Are You the King of the Jews?" And He answered and said to him, "It is as you say." And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing. Then Pilate asked Him again, saying, "Do You answer nothing? See how many things they testify against You!" But Jesus still answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled. (NKJV) Lu. 23:8,9; Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him. They he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him nothing. (NKJV) Jn. 8:6;This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. (NKJV)

Ps. 31:11,12; I am a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and am repulsive to my acquaintances; those who see me outside flee from me. I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel. (NKJV) Ps. 142:4; Look on my right hand and see, for there is no one who acknowledges me; refuge has failed me; no one cares for my soul. (NKJV) Zec. 13:7; "Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, against the Man who is My Companion," says the Lord of hosts. "Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered; .... (NKJV)

Is. 50:6 I gave My back to those who plucked out the beard; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting. (NKJV)

Mk. 14:65; Then some began to spit on Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him, and to say to Him, "Prophesy!" And the officers struck Him with the palms of their hands. (NKJV) Mk. 15:17-19; And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head, and began to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!" Then they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshipped Him. (NKJV) Jn. 18:22; And when He had said these things, one of the officers who stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, "Do You answer the high priest like that?" (NKJV) Jn. 19:1-3; So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and they put on Him a purple robe. Then they said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with their hands. (NKJV)

Christ Would Suffer as a Servant

Is. 53:10-12; Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the travail of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify nmanyh, for He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide Him the spoil with the strong, because He poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors, and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. (NKJV) Zec. 12:10; "And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they have pierced; they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. (NKJV)

Mk. 8:31; And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. (NKJV) Lu. 22:37; "For I say to you that this which is written must still be accomplished in Me: 'And He was numbered with the transgressors.' For the things concerning Me have an end." (NKJV) Lu. 24:7,26,46; verse 7: "saying, 'The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.'" (NKJV) verse 46: Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, (NKJV) Jn. 3:14; "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, (NKJV) Acts 3:18; "But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. (NKJV) Acts 26:23 "that Christ would suffer, that He would be the first to rise from the dead, and would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles." (NKJV)

Ps. 22:18 They divide My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots. (NKJV)

Mt. 27:35; Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: "They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots." (NKJV) Jn. 19:23,24 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. 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. (NKJV)

Jn. 19:37; And again another Scripture says, "They shall look on Him whom they pierced." (NKJV) Jn. 20:25-27 Then other disciples therefore said to him(Thomas), "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe." And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace to you!" Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving , but believing." (NKJV)

Mocked and Insulted

Ps. 22:6-8 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All those who see Me laugh Me to scorn; they shout out the lip, they shake the head, saying, "He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!"

Mt. 27:39-44; And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, "You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross." Likewise the chief priests, also mocking with the scribes and elders, said, "He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him, He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, 'I am the Son of God.'" Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing. (NKJV) Mk. 15:29-32 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads and saying, "Aha! You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself, and come down from the cross!" Likewise the chief priests also, together with the scribes, mocked and said among themselves, "He saved others; Himself He cannot save. Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe." And those who were crucified with Him reviled Him. (NKJV)
