Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those
things which ye do hear and see: The 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.--MATT. xi. 4, 5.
(8) _That the Messiah should make his public entry into Jerusalem riding
upon an ass:_
PROPHECY--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.--ZECH. ix. 9.
FULFILLMENT--And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded
them, And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their
clothes, and they set him thereon. And a very great multitude
spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from
the trees, and strewed them in the way. And the multitudes that
went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son
of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord;
Hosanna in the highest.--MATT. xxi. 6-9.
(9) _That the Messiah should be betrayed by one of his followers for
thirty pieces of silver which would finally be thrown into the potter's
field:_
PROPHECY--Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which
did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.--PSA.
xli. 9.
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. And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a
goodly price that I was prized at of them. And I took the thirty
pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the
Lord.--ZECH. xi. 12, 13.
FULFILLMENT--Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went
unto the chief priests, 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.--MATT. xxvi. 14, 15.
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, Saying, I have sinned in
that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is
that to us? see thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver
in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. 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. And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's
field, to bury strangers in.--MATT. xxvii. 3-8.

should be despised and rejected of men:_
