weighed my price—thirty pieces of silver” (Zech. 11:12).
Fulfilled: “And said, ‘What are you willing to give me, and I will deliver Him up to you?’ And
they offered him thirty pieces of silver” (Matt. 26:15).
6) Zechariah also foretold what would be done with the betrayal money.
Prophesied: “And the LORD said to me, ‘Throw it to the potter’—the princely price at which I
was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the
house of the LORD” (Zech. 11:13).
Fulfilled: “Now when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He was condemned, he changed
his mind and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, saying, ‘I have
sinned and have betrayed innocent blood.’ But they said, ‘What is that to us? You see to it your-
self.’ And after throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he went out and hanged him-
self. But the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, ‘It is not lawful to put them into the
treasury, since it is the price of blood.’ And after taking counsel, they bought a potter’s field with
the pieces of silver, for a burial ground for strangers” (Matt. 27:3-7).
7) Isaiah prophesied that Jesus Christ would be sacrificed as the Passover Lamb of God.
Prophesied: “He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter…” (Isa. 53:7).
Fulfilled: “For Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us” (I Cor. 5:7). “Knowing that you were
not redeemed by corruptible things … but by the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without
blemish and without spot; Who truly was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was
manifested in these last times for your sakes” (I Pet. 1:18-20).
8) Isaiah also prophesied the scourging and mocking that He would suffer.
Prophesied: “I gave My back to the smiters [scourgers], and My cheeks to them that plucked off
the hair; I did not hide My face from shame and spitting” (Isa. 50:6).
Fulfilled: “Then he released Barabbas to them; but after scourging Jesus, he delivered Him up so
that He might be crucified. Then the governor’s soldiers, after taking Jesus with them into the
Praetorium, gathered the entire band against Him; and they stripped Him and put a scarlet cloak
around Him. And after platting a crown of thorns, they put it on His head; and a rod in His right
hand; and bowing on their knees before Him, they mocked Him, and kept on saying, ‘Hail, king
of the Jews!’ Then, after spitting on Him, they took the rod and struck Him on the head” (Matt.
27:26-30).
9) Both Isaiah and David prophesied that Jesus’ body would be mutilated.
Prophesied: “Many were astonished at Him—for His body was so disfigured—even His form
beyond that of the sons of men” (Isa. 52:14). “I can count all My bones; they look and gloat over
Me” (Psa. 22:17).
Fulfilled: “But after scourging Jesus, he delivered Him up so that He might be crucified” (Matt.
27:26). “Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged Him” (John 19:1).
