This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

26. ἦν αὐτῷ κεχρηματισμένον. For the use of this word to imply a divine communication see Act 10:22; Mat 2:12. χρηματισμὸς an oracle Rom 11:4. Christian legend says that he had stumbled at Isa 7:14, “Behold, a virgin shall conceive,” and had received a divine intimation that he should not die till he had seen it fulfilled (Nicephorus, A.D. 1450). The notion of his extreme age is not derived from Scripture but from the ‘Gospel of the Nativity of Mary,’ which says that he was 113.

τὸν Χριστὸν κυρίου. The anointed of Jehovah.
