This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
38. ἵνα … πληρωθῇ. Indicating the Divine purpose. Comp. Joh 13:18, Joh 15:25, Joh 17:12, Joh 18:9; Joh 18:32, Joh 19:24; Joh 19:36. It is the two specially Hebraistic Gospels that most frequently remind us that Christ’s life was a fulfilment of Hebrew prophecy. Comp. Mat 1:22 (note), Mat 2:15; Mat 2:17, Mat 4:14, Mat 8:17, Mat 12:17, Mat 13:35, Mat 21:4, Mat 26:54; Mat 26:56, Mat 27:9. The quotation closely follows the LXX. Τῇ ἀκοῇ ἡμῶν is what they heard from us rather than what we heard from God (1Th 2:13): ὁ βραχίων Κυρίου means His power (Luk 1:5; Act 13:17).
