168. Christ, who was numbered with the transgressors

Isa 53:12, Lk 24:26-27,44

The Old Testament foretold that Christ would be regarded as a fellow of the transgressors. (Isa 53:12)

Isa 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

As prophesied in the Old Testament, Jesus was regarded as a fellow of the transgressors. (Lk 22:37)

Lk 22:37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

All the prophecies of Christ in the Old Testament were fulfilled in Jesus. That is, Jesus is the Christ. (Lk 24:26-27,44)

Lk 24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
