That The Scriptures Might Be Fulfilled

Text: John 19: 36 - 37

THAT THE SCRIPTURES MIGHT BE FULFILLED

What really impacted the Apostle John was the fulfilment of the Scriptures. He had just seen the soldiers break the legs of the prisoners but not the legs of Jesus. He had seen how the soldier had pierced the side of Jesus. He could not but feel moved to write the following words.

“For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, ‘Not one of His bones shall be broken.’ And again another Scripture says, ‘They shall look on Him whom they pierced.’”

John 19:36-37

1. “For these things were done”

a. The breaking of the legs.
b. The piercing of the side of Jesus.

2. The Scriptures

a. These were given by God.
b. Some were historical books.
c. Some were prophetic books.

3. “That the Scriptures should be fulfilled”

a. The prophetic Scriptures must be fulfilled.
b. Their fulfilment would confirm:
i. The authenticity of the Scriptures.
ii. The authority of the Scriptures.
iii. The power of God at work in making sure the Scriptures are fulfilled.

4. “Not one of His bones shall be broken”

a. This word was written by King David:

“He guards all His bones; Not one of them is broken.”

Psalm 34:20

b. This did not apply to the other two prisoners.
c. But it was applicable to Jesus and it was fulfilled.

5. “They shall look on Him whom they pierced”

a. This word was written by the prophet Zechariah

“They will look on Me whom they pierced…”

Zechariah 12:10

b. This prophetic word was fulfilled literally.

经文：约翰福音 19：36-37

为要应验经上的话

经文的应验强烈打动了使徒约翰。他刚看到兵丁打断了其他犯人的腿，但却没有打断耶稣的腿。他看到了兵丁扎耶稣的肋旁。他不得不受感动写了以下这段话。

“这些事成了，为要应验经上的话说：‘他的骨头一根也不可折断。’经上又有一句说：‘他们要仰望自己所扎的人。’”

《约翰福音 19：36-37》

b. 经上的话被应验将确认：

4． “他的骨头一根也不可折断”

a. 这话是大卫王所写的：

“又保全他一身的骨头，连一根也不折断”

《诗篇 34：20》

b. 这经节并不能应用在另外两个犯人身上
c. 但却能应用在耶稣身上，并且应验了经上的话
