"Fellow
children of Abraham and you God-fearing Gentiles, it is to us that this
message of salvation has been sent. The people of Jerusalem and their
rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the
words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath. Though they found no
proper ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him
executed. When they had carried out all that was written about him, they
took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him
from the dead, and for many days he was seen by those who had traveled
with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now witnesses to our
people."
The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus
Acts 3:17-18 "Now, fellow Israelites, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer."
Yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath
Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.
Luke 24:44-45 He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." Then he open their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.
Matthew 1:22-23 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us"). [Isaiah 7:14]
