The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus. By finding him guilty, they made the prophets’ words come true. These are read every Sabbath day.

“ My fellow Israelites, I know you didn’t realize what you were doing. Neither did your leaders.

The chief priests and our rulers handed Jesus over to be sentenced to death. They nailed him to a cross.

These laws of Moses have been preached in every city from the earliest times. They are read out loud in the synagogues every Sabbath day.”

But God has helped me to this day. So I stand here and tell you what is true. I tell it to everyone, both small and great. I have been saying nothing different from what the prophets and Moses said would happen.They said the Messiah would suffer. He would be the first to rise from the dead. He would bring the message of God’s light. He would bring it to his own people and to the Gentiles.”

But their minds were made stubborn. To this day, the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. The veil has not been removed. Only faith in Christ can take it away.

It is written,“ God made it hard for them to understand. He gave them eyes that could not see. He gave them ears that could not hear. And they are still like that today.”( Deuteronomy 29:4; Isaiah 29:10)David says,“ Let their feast be a trap and a snare. Let them trip and fall. Let them get what’s coming to them.Let their eyes grow dark so they can’t see. Let their backs be bent forever.”( Psalm 69:22, 23)

None of the rulers of this world understood God’s wisdom. If they had, they would not have nailed the Lord of glory to the cross.

They decided to meet Paul on a certain day. At that time even more people came to the place where he was staying. From morning until evening, he told them about God’s kingdom. Using the Law of Moses and the Prophets, he tried to get them to believe in Jesus.

Then some of our friends went to the tomb. They saw it was empty, just as the women had said. They didn’t see Jesus’ body there.”Jesus said to them,“ How foolish you are! How long it takes you to believe all that the prophets said!Didn’t the Messiah have to suffer these things and then receive his glory?”Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures. He began with Moses and all the Prophets.

Brothers and sisters, here is a mystery I want you to understand. It will keep you from being proud. Part of Israel has refused to obey God. That will continue until the full number of Gentiles has entered God’s kingdom.

Later, Jesus knew that everything had now been finished. He also knew that what Scripture said must come true. So he said,“ I am thirsty.”A jar of wine vinegar was there. So they soaked a sponge in it. They put the sponge on the stem of a hyssop plant. Then they lifted it up to Jesus’ lips.After Jesus drank he said,“ It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and died.

So Jesus said,“ You will lift up the Son of Man. Then you will know that I am he. You will also know that I do nothing on my own. I speak just what the Father has taught me.

They will do things like that because they do not know the Father or me.

Jesus answered,“ I tell you, Peter, you will say three times that you don’t know me. And you will do it before the rooster crows today.”

The god of this world has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They can’t see the light of the good news that makes Christ’s glory clear. Christ is the likeness of God.

Jesus said to them,“ This is what I told you while I was still with you. Everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms must come true.”Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

These things happened in order that Scripture would come true. It says,“ Not one of his bones will be broken.”( Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalm 34:20)Scripture also says,“ They will look to the one they have pierced.”( Zechariah 12:10)

From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch. On the Sabbath day they entered the synagogue and sat down.The Law and the Prophets were read aloud. Then the leaders of the synagogue sent word to Paul and his companions. They said,“ Brothers, do you have any words of instruction for the people? If you do, please speak.”

You planned to harm me. But God planned it for good. He planned to do what is now being done. He wanted to save many lives.

Jesus replied,“ You are mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures. And you do not know the power of God.

They will treat you like that because of my name. They do not know the one who sent me.

I used to speak evil things against Jesus. I tried to hurt his followers. I really pushed them around. But God showed me mercy anyway. I did those things without knowing any better. I wasn’t a believer.

But then how would the Scriptures come true? They say it must happen in this way.”At that time Jesus spoke to the crowd.“ Am I leading a band of armed men against you?” he asked.“ Do you have to come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courtyard teaching. And you didn’t arrest me.But all this has happened so that the words of the prophets would come true.” Then all the disciples left him and ran away.
