The words which I spake. See ch. 18:31-33.
All things must be fulfilled. See on Matt. 1:22; Luke 24:26, 27.
The law of Moses. That is, the portion of the OT written by Moses, commonly called the Pentateuch, and consisting of the first five books of the Bible. Elsewhere the Pentateuch is referred to as “the law” (Matt. 7:12; Luke 16:16; etc.), “the law of Moses” (Acts 28:23), and sometimes simply “Moses” (Luke 16:29, 31).
This is the only place in the Scriptures where specific mention is made of the common threefold division of the OT recognized by the Hebrew people themselves. For a discussion of the formation of the OT canon see Vol. I, pp. 36-45.
The prophets. The Hebrews divided this section of the OT into what they called “the former prophets” — Joshua, Judges, and the books of Samuel and Kings — and “the latter prophets,” or Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the Twelve Minor prophets (see Vol. I, p. 37).
The psalms. Including not only what we call the book of Psalms, but probably also all the other books not belonging to “Moses” or to “the prophets.” These books of the third section are commonly called the Hagiographa, or simply the Writings (see Vol. I, p. 37).
Concerning me. See on Matt. 1:22; Luke 24:26, 27; John 5:39.
