Section 109

And the Nevi'im also prophesied concerning the Crucifixion of Mashiach. Thus Mosheh, the servant of Elohim, prophesied and said, “ you shall see your salvation crucified upon the wood, and shall not believe.” Thus Daviyd prophesied and said, “ Many dogs have seized Me; and they drove nails through My hands and My feet; and they counted all My bones; though they knew Me they despised Me; and they divided My garments among themselves; and they cast lots for My apparel.” Thus Yeshayahu prophesied concerning the Incarnation and Crucifixion of Mashiach, and said, “ Who believeth • our word, and to whom is the arm of the Yahuah revealed? And we spoke like a child before Him: and He is like a root in parched ground, He has no beauty and no form; and His form is more rejected and abased than [that of] any man. He is a broken man and a man of suffering; for He has turned away His face, and they treat Him with contempt and esteem Him as nothing.” Thus Shəlomah prophesied and said, “ Let us kill the righteous man, for he is a burden to us; he setteth himself up against our works, he resisteth our intentions continually, and we are an abomination to him because of our sins.” And he continued, saying, “ My son, let not wicked men lead you astray; if they say to you, c Come with us, be a partner with us, let us hide innocent blood and take plunder from him; and let there be one purse common to us all’: withdraw thyself from their footsteps, for let it not be through you that the birds find the net.” Thus Daviyd prophesied and said, “ They cast gall into My meat, and they gave Me vinegar to drink to [quench] My thirst.” Thus prophesied Yeshayahu the Navi and said, “ He has taken our disease and carried our sickness, and by His wound we are healed; and we saw Him suffering, and wounded in his pain; and He opened not His mouth in His pain, and He came to be slaughtered; like a lamb before his shearer He opened not His mouth in His suffering until they took away His life; and they knew not His birth; through the sin of My people have I come even to death.” Thus Yirmeyahu the Navi prophesied and said, “ And they took the price of the honourable one thirty [pieces of] silver, whom they had honoured among the children of Yisra'el. And Elohim said to me, Cast it into the melting pot, and test it [and see] if it be pure; and they gave it for the field of the potter; as Elohim has commanded me I will speak.” Thus Yeshayahu the Navi prophesied and said, “ They counted Him with the sinners, and brought Him to death.” Thus Daviyd the Navi prophesied and said, “ Those who hate Me wrongfully are many, and they have rewarded Me with evil for good.” Thus Zekharyahu the Navi prophesied and said, “ And they shall look upon Him Whom they have crucified and pierced.” Now there are still very many passages which have been written and many prophecies which might be mentioned concerning His coming, and His Crucifixion, and His death, and His Resurrection, and His second coming in glory. But we have only mentioned a few of the prophecies of the Nevi'im - we have mentioned one of each kind - so that you may hear, and believe, and understand, even as it is said in the Acts of the Shelichim, “ By the Besorah you hast guided us, and by the Nevi'im you hast comforted us; for the words of the Nevi'im make right the faith of those who doubt.”
