He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.” |
| Christ being a Prophet like to Moses | Deuteronomy c18v15 “The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.” | Acts c3v20-22 “And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

The 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 c4v12 “Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.” |

Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.”1 Peter c2v8 “And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.” |

Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?” |
| Christ’s public entry into Jerusalem | Zechariah c9v9 “Rejoice 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 c21v1-5 “And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples, Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.

| Rejected by His own people | Isaiah c53v3 “He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” | John c1v11“He came unto his own, and his own received him not.”Luke c23v18 “And they cried out all at once, saying, ‘Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas.’ “ |
| Christ knew what sorrows and grief were | Isaiah c53v3 “… a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:” | Mark c3v5 “And when he (Jesus c2v19) had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other”.

| Christ was without Guile | Isaiah c53v9 “And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.” | Hebrews c7v26 “For such an high priest (Christ v22) became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.” 1 Peter c2v22 “Who (Christ v21) did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.” |
| Christ being betrayed by a friend | Psalm 41v9 “Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.” | John c13v18-21 “I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. Before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.” |
| Christ sold for thirty pieces of silver | Zechariah c11v12 “And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.” | Matthew c26v15 “And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.” |
| Christ’s disciples forsaking him | Zechariah c13v7 “Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.” | Matthew c26v31 “Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.” |
| The price of Christ given for the potter’s field | Zechariah c11v13 “And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.” | Matthew 27:3-10 “Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, v4 saying, ‘I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.’ And they said, ‘What is that to us? see thou to that.’ v5 And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. v6 And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, ‘It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.’ v7 And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter’s field, to bury strangers in. v8 Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day. v9 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, ‘And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; v10 And gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord appointed me.’{Matthew was written to the Jews which explains the apparent contradiction of the quotation being from Zechariah and said to be from Jeremiah. “It was an ancient custom among the Jews”, says Dr. Lightfoot, “to divide the Old Testament into three parts: the first beginning with the law was called THE LAW; the second beginning with the Psalms was called THE PSALMS; the third beginning with the prophet in question was called JEREMIAH: thus, then, the writings of Zechariah and the other prophets being included in that division that began with Jeremiah, all quotations from it would go under the name of this prophet.”} |

And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.”Matthew c27v12 “And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.”Mark c15v4 “And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.” |
| Christ was Unjustly Condemned | Isaiah c53v8 “He was taken from prison and from judgment …” | John’s Gospel c19v5-8 “Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid.” |
| Christ was oppressed and afflicted | Isaiah c53v7 “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth …” | Matthew c26v60-63 “But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, 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 unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? But Jesus held his peace.” John’s Gospel c19v2-3 “And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.” |
| Christ would be scourged and struck | Isaiah c50v6a “I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: …” | Mark c15v15 “And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.”John c19v1 “Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.” |
| Christ would be Spat on | Isaiah c50v6b “… I hid not my face from shame and spitting.” | Matthew c26v67 “Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands.””Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands.” “Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands.” |
| Christ was led to the place of His death | Isaiah c53v7 “… he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter …” | John c19v16-17 “Then delivered he (Pilate v15) him therefore unto them (the soldiers – Matthew c27v27) to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha.” |
| Christ would be Crucified with Transgressors | Isaiah 53v12 “… and he was numbered with the transgressors …” | Mark c15v27-28 “And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.” |

| Christ’s Terrible Sufferings | Psalm 22v14-15 “I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

| Christ’s Side would be pierced | Zechariah c12v10 “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.” | John c19v34 “But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.” |
| Christ was punished for our sin and suffered grief as a result | Isaiah c53v10 “Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief …” | This is not a sadistic pleasure but a pleasure which comes from the outcome i.e. of saving all that trust in Christ. 1 Peter c2v24 “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”1 Peter c2v19 & 21 “For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. … Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.” Matthew c27v46 “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” |

| Christ died for other’s iniquities. | Isaiah c53v5 “… he was bruised for our iniquities.” | For the Holy Spirit through Paul to be able to quote the following verse shows that Christ must have died for our iniquity, which is lawlessness or self will against God. Romans c4v7 “Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.”Hebrews c10v15-18 “Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before {the covenant with Israel is extended to believers in Christ}, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.”Acts c2v23-25, 31 “Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. For 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:’ … He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.” |

And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.” |
| Through Christ there would be the conversion of the Gentiles | Isaiah c11v10 “And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.” | John c10v16 “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.”Acts c10v45-47 “And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. … Then answered Peter, ‘Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?’.” |

And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” (God would not expect Christians to depart from some sin that Christ had not first died for.) |
| Christ will divide His portion with the great | Isaiah 53v12 “Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, …” | Revelation c21v7 “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” (The believers in Christ are great but only because their greatness has been given by Christ). |

| Christ would be the chief cornerstone of the church | Isaiah c28v16 “Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.” | 1 Peter c2v6-7 “Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner.” |
| Christ would exercise His priestly office in heaven | Zechariah c6v13 “Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.” | Romans c8v34 “Who is he that condemneth?
