He should “enter Jerusalem riding on an ass’s colt” (Zech. ix. 9).
He should “be higher than the kings of the earth.” His throne should “endure as the sun” (Ps. lxxxix. 27, 36).
He should “open His mouth in a parable, and utter dark sayings of old” (Ps. lxxviii. 2; Isa. vi. 9, 10, compared with Matt. xiii. 14).
The rulers should “take counsel together against Him” (Ps. ii. 2).
His “own familiar friend, who did eat of His bread,” should “lift up his heel against Him” (Ps. xli. 9).
“They weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the House of the Lord” (Zech. xi. 12, 13). “They gave me gall for my meat, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink” (Ps. lxix. 21).
“Not a bone of Him should be broken” (Ex. xii. 46; Ps. xxxiv. 20). “He should give His back to the smitters, and His cheeks to them that plucked off the hair.” “He hid not His face from shame and spitting” (Isa. l. 6).
The assembly of the wicked should enclose Him—“they pierced my hands and my feet” (Ps. xxii. 16). “They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture” (Ps. xxii. 18). “All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip; they shake the head, saying, He trusted on the Lord that He would deliver Him; let Him deliver Him, seeing He delighted in Him” (Ps. xxii. 7, 8).
He should “make His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death, because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth” (Isa. liii. 9).
He should “make intercession for the transgressors” (Isa. liii. 12). “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
