Scripture points towards Jesus Christ, reports of His life on earth or recounts the past events from the perspective of the Early Christians. In this study I want to focus not on
Prologue 300-575 prophecies and promises scholars claim to have found, but on the 54 most important and impressive prophecies, that announce Jesus' Birth, Death and
Resurrection. Each prophecy is compared to its fulfillment and coinciding verses are marked in green colour. The study is organized according to the timeline of Jesus Christ,
so that you can easily grasp the prophecies.

Mic So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is Mat
5:2 2:5-6
written by the prophet, ‘And you, Bethlehem, land of
Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah,
for from you will go out a ruler who will shepherd my
people Israel.’ ”
Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes from the Joh
7:42
descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village
where David was?”
Isa All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through Mat
7:14 1:22-23
His prophet: “Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She
will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel,
which means ‘God is with us.’”
Isa ... in order that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah Mat
9:1-7 4:14-16
would be fulfilled, who said, “Land of Zebulun and land
of Naphtali, toward the sea, on the other side of the
Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles - ...
... the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light,
and the ones who sit in the land and shadow of death, a
light has dawned on them.”
Others were saying, “This man is the Christ!” But others Joh
7:41-42
were saying, “No, for the Christ does not come from
Galilee [referring to Jesus growing up in Nazareth
that is located in Galilee], does he? Has not the
Scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants
of David, and from Bethlehem [where Jesus was born
indeed], the village where David was?”
Isa And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name Luk
8:14 2:25-35
was Simeon [...] And it had been revealed to him by the
Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he would
see the Lord’s Christ. And he came in the Spirit into the
Isa temple ... he took Him in his arms and praised God and

Isa Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the Mat
60:6 2:1-3
days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east
came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the one who has
been born king of the Jews? For we have seen His star at
its rising and have come to worship Him.” [...] And when
they came into the house, they saw the child with Mary
his mother, and they fell down and worshiped Him. And
opening their treasure boxes, they offered him gifts of
gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Jer Then what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah was Mat
31:15 2:17-18
fulfilled, saying, “A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping
and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children,
and she did not want to be comforted, because they exist
no longer.”
Hos So he [Joseph] got up and took the child [Jesus] and His Mat
11:1 2:14-15
mother during the night and went away to Egypt. And
He was there until the death of Herod, in order that what
was said by the Lord through the prophet would be
fulfilled, saying, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
Zec And the Word became flesh and took up residence among Joh
2:10 1:14
us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the one and only
from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Isa “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because of which Luk

He has anointed me to proclaim Good News to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives, and
recovery of sight to the blind, to send out in freedom
Isa those who are oppressed, to proclaim the favorable year
58:6 of the Lord.” And He rolled up the scroll and gave it back
to the attendant and sat down. [...] “Today this scripture
has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
Isa And Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John Mat
35:5-6 11:4-6
what you hear and see: the blind receive sight and the
lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and
the dead are raised, and the poor have Good News
announced to them.
Isa Now when the people saw the sign that He performed, Joh
42:6-9 6:14
they began to say, “This one is truly the Prophet who is
to come into the world!”
Isa ... in order that what was spoken through the prophet Mat
42:1-4 12:17-21
Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said, “Behold my servant
whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul is
well pleased. I will put my Spirit on Him, and He will
proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He will not quarrel or cry
out, nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets. A
crushed reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick
He will not extinguish, until He brings justice to victory.
And in His name the Gentiles will hope.
Isa ... and with reference to them the prophecy of Isaiah is Mat
6:9-10 13:14-15
fulfilled that says, “You will listen carefully and will
never understand, and you will look closely and will
never perceive. For the heart of this people has become
dull, and with their ears they hear with difficulty, and
they have shut their eyes, so that they would not see with
their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with
their heart and turn, and I would heal them.”
And He said, “To you it has been given to know the Luk

mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest they
are in parables, so that ‘Seeing they may not see, and
hearing they may not understand.’
Psa ... in order that what was spoken through the prophet Mat
78:2 13:35
would be fulfilled, who said, “I will open my mouth in
parables; I will proclaim what has been hidden since the
creation.”
Deu For I say, Christ has become a servant of the circumcision Rom
32:43 15:8-12
on behalf of the truth of God, in order to confirm the
promises to the fathers, and that the Gentiles may glorify
God for His mercy, just as it is written, “Because of this, I
will praise you among the Gentiles, and I will sing praise
to your name.” And again it says, “Rejoice, Gentiles, with
Psa His people.” And again, “Praise the Lord, all the Gentiles,
117:1 and let all the peoples praise Him.” And again Isaiah
says, “The root of Jesse will come, even the One who rises

to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will put

Isa ... the word of the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who Joh
53:1-9 12:38
said, “Lord, who has believed our message? And to
whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
Was it not necessary that the Christ suffer these things Luk
24:26-27
and enter into His glory?” And beginning from Moses
and from all the prophets, He interpreted to them the
things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
Now when it was evening, they brought to Him many Mat
8:17
who were demon-possessed, and He expelled the spirits
with a word. And He healed all those who were sick, in
order that what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah
would be fulfilled, who said, “He himself took away our
sicknesses, and carried away our diseases.”
Now the passage of Scripture that he [Philipp to Act
8:32-35
eunuch] was reading aloud was this: “He was led like
a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its
shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth. In His
humiliation justice was taken from Him. Who can
describe His descendants? For His life was taken away
from the earth.” And the eunuch answered and said to
Philip, “I ask you, about whom does the prophet say this
- about himself or about someone else?” So Philip
opened his mouth and beginning from this scripture,
proclaimed the Good News to him about Jesus.
And I [Yahweh] will put hostility between you and Gen
3.15
between the woman, and between your offspring and
between her offspring [hostility between spouses]; he
will strike you on the head [He would crush evil at His
own expense], and you will strike him on the heel
[probably also a reference to Jesus' suffering].”
Isa For I tell you that this that is written must be fulfilled in Luk
53:12 22:37
me: ‘And He was counted with the criminals.’ For in-
deed, what is written about me is being fulfilled.”
Isa And taking aside the twelve, He said to them, “Behold, Luk
52:13-15 18:31-33
we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are
written by the prophets with reference to the Son of Man
will be accomplished. For He will be handed over to the
Gentiles and will be mocked and mistreated and spit on,
and after flogging Him they will kill Him, and on the
third day He will rise.”
Psa And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud Mat
22:1-15 27:46
voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (that is,
“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”) ...
And when they had mocked Him, they stripped Him of Mar
15:20
the purple cloak and put His own clothes on Him, and
they led Him out so that they could crucify Him.
And those who passed by reviled Him, shaking their Mar
15:29-31
heads and saying, “Aha! The one who would destroy
the temple and rebuild it in three days, save yourself
by coming down from the cross!”
After this, Jesus ... in order that the scripture would be Joh
19:28-29
fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.” A jar full of sour wine was
standing there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine
on a branch of hyssop and brought it to His mouth.
Psa And when they came to the place that is called “The Luk
22:16-31 23:33
Skull,” there they crucified Him, and the criminals, the
one on His right and the other on His left.
But the things which God foretold through the mouth Act
3:18
of all the prophets, that His Christ would suffer, He
has fulfilled in this way.
Deu Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by Gal
21:23 3:13
becoming a curse for us, because it is written,
“Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,” ...
Psa ... they gave Him wine mixed with gall to drink, and Mat

when He tasted it he did not want to drink it.
Psa 34:20 Then the Jews ... asked Pilate that their legs could be Joh

did not break His legs.
Num

Psa ... “Let us not tear it apart, but cast lots for it, to see Joh
22:18 19:24

that says, “They divided my garments among
themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots.”
Psa ... Christ did not please Himself, but just as it is written, Rom

“The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.”

make known to me the path of life. In your presence is
fullness of joy. At your right hand are pleasures forever.

Jesus].” [...] I will give you as a light to the nations, to be
my salvation to the end of the earth.” Thus says Yahweh,
the redeemer of Israel, His holy One [...] “Kings shall see
and stand up; princes, and they shall bow down, for the
sake of Yahweh [...] “I have answered you in a time of
favor, and helped you on a day of salvation [could point
to resurrection, but very vague; no other references in
books of Moses; et al], and watched over you, and given
you as a covenant of the people [...] saying to the
prisoners, “Come out!” to those who are in darkness,
“Show yourselves!” [...] They shall not be hungry or
thirsty, and heat and sun shall not strike them, for He
who takes pity on them will lead them, and He will guide
them to springs of water.
Psa For David says with reference to Him, ‘I saw the Lord Act
2:25-31
before me continually, for He is at my right hand so that
I will not be shaken. For this reason my heart was glad
and my tongue rejoiced greatly, furthermore also my
flesh will live in hope, because you will not abandon my
soul in Hades, nor will you permit your Holy One to
experience decay. You have made known to me the paths
of life; you will fill me with gladness with your presence.’
[...] Therefore, because he was a prophet and knew that
God had sworn to him with an oath to seat one of his
descendants on his throne, by having foreseen this, he
[David] spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that
neither was He abandoned in Hades nor did His flesh
experience decay.
Isa For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three Mat

heart of the earth three days and three nights.
Because of this the Father loves me, because I lay down Joh
my life so that I may take possession of it again. No one 10:17-18
takes it from me, but I lay it down voluntarily. I have
authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take
possession of it again. This commandment I received
from my Father.”
Therefore I have experienced help from God until this Act
26:22-23
day, and I stand here testifying to both small and great,
saying nothing except what both the prophets and Moses
have said were going to happen, that the Christ was to
suffer and that as the first of the resurrection from the
dead, He was going to proclaim light both to the people
and to the Gentiles.”
