In that way, what the prophet Isaiah had said came true. He had said,

to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:

so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:

This fulfilled what God said through the prophet Isaiah:

This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

This happened so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled:

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

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

so that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled:

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

But there won’t be any more sadness for those who were suffering. In the past the Lord brought shame on the land of Zebulun. He also brought shame on the land of Naphtali. But in days to come he will honor Galilee, where people from other nations live. He will honor the land along the Mediterranean Sea. And he will honor the territory east of the Jordan River.The people who are now living in darkness will see a great light. They are now living in a very dark land. But a light will shine on them.

All this took place to bring about what the Lord had said would happen. He had said through the prophet,

This was to make what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah come true. It says,“ Here is my servant. I have chosen him. He is the one I love. I am very pleased with him. I will put my Spirit on him. He will announce to the nations that everything will be made right.He will not argue or cry out. No one will hear his voice in the streets.He will not break a bent twig. He will not put out a dimly burning flame. He will make right win over wrong.The nations will put their hope in him.”( Isaiah 42:1–4)

These things happened in order that Scripture would come true. It says,“ Not one of his bones will be broken.”( Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalm 34:20)Scripture also says,“ They will look to the one they have pierced.”( Zechariah 12:10)

This has happened so that what is written in their Law would come true. It says,‘ They hated me without any reason.’( Psalms 35:19; 69:4)

This happened so that what Isaiah the prophet had said would come true. He had said,“ He suffered the things we should have suffered. He took on himself the sicknesses that should have been ours.”( Isaiah 53:4)

It is written,‘ He was counted among those who had committed crimes.’( Isaiah 53:12) I tell you that what is written about me must come true. Yes, it is already coming true.”

Later, Jesus knew that everything had now been finished. He also knew that what Scripture said must come true. So he said,“ I am thirsty.”

They stayed there until King Herod died. So the words the Lord had spoken through the prophet came true. He had said,“ I brought my son out of Egypt.”( Hosea 11:1)

There he lived in a town called Nazareth. So what the prophets had said about Jesus came true. They had said that he would be called a Nazarene.

Jesus said to them,“ This is what I told you while I was still with you. Everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms must come true.”

But then how would the Scriptures come true? They say it must happen in this way.”

But all this has happened so that the words of the prophets would come true.” Then all the disciples left him and ran away.
