Prophecy #84

Description

They pierced His hands and His feet

Old Testament Prophecy

Psalm 22:16

For dogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers encircles me;
they have pierced my hands and feet

New Testament Fullfillment

John 19:34-37

But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water.

For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one of his bones will be broken.”

And again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they have pierced.”

John 20:27

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.”
