Matthew 26:24

“Therefore, how will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”

“But all this has taken place in order that the Scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left Him and fled.

And He said to them, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

And He said to them, “O foolish ones and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

“I do not speak about all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

The disciples began looking at one another, perplexed about whom He *spoke.

that the Christ was to suffer, and that as first of the resurrection from the dead, He was going to proclaim light both to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles.”

Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you, made careful searches and inquiries,

inquiring to know what time or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He was predicting the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.
