Remembering the Cross

These are the words when Jesus foretold about his death and resurrection

1)Luke the doctor and historian records these words of Jesus
Luke 9:22
"The son of man must suffer many things to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised."

2)Luke 9:44
Jesus again says
"Let these words sink into your ears. The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men."

3)Luke 18:31
And taking the twelve, he said to them, See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon. And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will raise". But they understood none of these things.

Even the other 3 gospels record Jesus foretelling about his death and resurrection.

When we observe throughout old testament, the way of God has always been that He foretells what is going to happen and does it. Like all the fulfilled prophecies Jesus foretells about his sufferings on the cross and resurrection.

Let us see from the book of Isaiah(dead sea scrolls) chapter 53. Now this was written around 740-700 B.C
Jesus's suffering and death prophesied in Isaiah 53
