Jesus fulfilled over 300 Old Testament prophecies according to scholars, with some estimates going as high as 400 or more
. These prophecies span a wide range of categories including His birth, lineage, ministry, miracles, death, and resurrection
. For example:
- His birth in Bethlehem and virgin birth
- His ministry in Galilee and teaching in parables
- His suffering and crucifixion details, such as being pierced and silent before accusers
- His betrayal for 30 pieces of silver and entry into Jerusalem on a donkey
The probability of one person fulfilling even a small number of these prophecies is astronomically low, highlighting the extraordinary nature of Jesus’ fulfillment of messianic predictions
. This extensive fulfillment is seen as a strong testament to His identity as the promised Messiah in Christian theology. In summary, Jesus fulfilled at least 300 specific prophecies from the Old Testament, which scholars consider a remarkable and significant fulfillment of messianic predictions
