Scripture

Have you never read this Scripture: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

…and He began by saying, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in Me: ‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about Me is reaching its fulfillment.”

After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this. Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”

Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”

If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—

I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

While I was with them, I protected and preserved them by Your name, the name You gave Me. Not one of them has been lost, except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.

After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”

Now these things happened so that the Scripture would be fulfilled: “Not one of His bones will be broken.”

And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”

For they still did not understand from the Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.

“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit foretold through the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide for those who arrested Jesus.

The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth.

Then Philip began with this very Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.

For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”

It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

God did not reject His people, whom He foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says about Elijah, how he appealed to God against Israel:

The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”

The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ.

But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.

But what does the Scripture say? “Expel the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”

Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, and to teaching.

For the Scripture says, “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain,” and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.

Or do you think the Scripture says without reason that the Spirit He caused to dwell in us yearns with envy?

For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation.
