The Baptism of Jesus
Isaiah 61:1 - 2 The spirit of the Lord is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed
me: he hath sent me to preach to the meek, to heal the contrite of heart, and to
preach a release to the captives, and deliverance to them that are shut up. To
proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God:
to comfort all that mourn:
FULFILLMENT:
Luke 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a
bodily shape, as a dove, upon him. And a voice
came from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son.
In thee I am well pleased.
Prophecy: He would work miracles:
Isaiah 35:5 - 6 Then shall the eyes of the blind
be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be
unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a
hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall be free:
FULFILLMENT:
John 9:1 - 7 And Jesus passing by, saw a man who was blind from his birth. And
his disciples asked him: Rabbi, who hath sinned, this man or his parents, that he
should be born blind?
Jesus answered: Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the
works of God should be made manifest in him.
I must work the works of him that sent me,
whilst it is day: the night cometh, when no
man can work. As long as I am in the world, I
am the light of the world.
When he had said these things, he spat on the
ground and made clay of the spittle and
spread the clay upon his eyes, And said to
him: Go, wash in the pool of Siloe, which is
interpreted, Sent.
He went therefore and washed: and he came
seeing.
Prophecy: He would be crucified
Psalm 22:1 O God my God, look upon me: why
hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
