THE VIRGIN BIRTH

Isaiah 7:14 (KJV 1900)

14Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, And shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:22–23 (KJV 1900)

22Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

MESSIAH COMING FROM BETHLEHEM

Micah 5:2 (KJV 1900)

2But thou, Beth-lehem Ephratah, Though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Matthew 2:5–6 (KJV 1900)

5And they said unto him, In Beth-lehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

6And thou Beth-lehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

JESUS SETTLES IN CAPERNAUM

Isaiah 9:1–2 (KJV 1900)

1Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, When at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, And afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, Beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.

2The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: They that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

Matthew 4:14–16 (NRSV)

14so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

15“Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—

16the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.”

HE IS THE ONE COMING TO THE WORLD

Isaiah 35:5–6 (KJV 1900)

5Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

6Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, And the tongue of the dumb sing: For in the wilderness shall waters break out, And streams in the desert.

Matthew 11:4–6 (KJV 1900)

4Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

5The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

6And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

THE SECRECY OF JESUS' MINISTRY

Isaiah 42:1–4 (KJV 1900)

1Behold my servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: He shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

2He shall not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

3A bruised reed shall he not break, And the smoking flax shall he not quench: He shall bring forth judgment unto truth.

4He shall not fail nor be discouraged, Till he have set judgment in the earth: And the isles shall wait for his law.

Matthew 12:17–21 (KJV 1900)

17That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

18Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.

19He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

20A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

21And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

JONAH

Jesus refers to the account of Jonah more broadly than to a specific prophecy.

Matthew 12:39–40 (KJV 1900)

39But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:

40For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Luke 11:29–30 (KJV 1900)

29And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.

30For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

JESUS ON A COLT

Zechariah 9:9 (KJV 1900)

9Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: Behold, thy King cometh unto thee: He is just, and having salvation; Lowly, and riding upon an ass, And upon a colt the foal of an ass.

Matthew 21:4–5 (KJV 1900)

4All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,

5Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.

BLESSED IS HE

Psalm 118:26 (KJV 1900)

26Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.

Mark 11:9 (KJV 1900)

9And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REFUSED

Psalm 118:22–23 (KJV 1900)

22The stone which the builders refused Is become the head stone of the corner.

23This is the Lord’s doing; It is marvellous in our eyes.

Mark 12:10–11 (KJV 1900)

10And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

11This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

SENT TO PROCLAIM

Isaiah 61:1–2 (KJV 1900)

1The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; Because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all that mourn;

Luke 4:18–21 (KJV 1900)

18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

CLEANSING OF THE TEMPLE

Psalm 69:9 (KJV 1900)

9For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; And the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.

John 2:17 (KJV 1900)

17And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

CASTING LOTS

Psalm 22:18 (KJV 1900)

18They part my garments among them, And cast lots upon my vesture.

John 19:24 (KJV 1900)

24They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

CHRIST'S RESURRECTION SPOKEN OF BY DAVID

Psalm 16:8–11 (KJV 1900)

8I have set the Lord always before me: Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

9Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: My flesh also shall rest in hope.

10For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; Neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

11Thou wilt shew me the path of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Acts 2:25–28 (KJV 1900)

25For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:

26Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:

27Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

28Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.

Isaiah 53:7–8 (KJV 1900)

7He 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 openeth not his mouth.

8He was taken from prison and from judgment: And who shall declare his generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living: For the transgression of my people was he stricken.

Acts 8:32–35 (KJV 1900)

32The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

33In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

34And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

35Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
