This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
27. ἀπὸ Μωϋσέως. The promise to Eve (Gen 3:15); the promise to Abraham (Gen 22:18); the Paschal Lamb (Exodus 12); the Scapegoat (Lev 16:1-34); the brazen serpent (Num 21:9); the greater Prophet (Deu 18:15); the star and sceptre (Num 24:17); the smitten rock (Num 20:11; 1Co 10:4), &c.
πάντων τῶν προφητῶν. Immanuel, Isa 7:14. “Unto us a Child is born, &c.” Isa 9:6-7. The Good Shepherd, Isa 40:10-11. The Meek Sufferer, Isa 50:6. He who bore our griefs, Isa 53:4-5. The Branch, Jer 23:5; Jer 33:14-15. The Heir of David, Eze 34:23. The Ruler from Bethlehem, Mic 5:2. The Branch, Zec 6:12. The lowly King, Zec 9:9. The pierced Victim, Zec 12:10. The smitten Shepherd, Zec 13:7. The Messenger of the Covenant, Mal 3:1. The Sun of Righteousness, Mal 4:2; and many other passages. Dr Davison, in his admirable and standard book on Prophecy, pp. 266–287, shews that there is not one of the Prophets without some distinct reference to Christ except Nahum, Jonah (who was himself a type and Prophetic Sign), and Habakkuk, who however uses the memorable words quoted in Rom 1:17. We cannot suppose that our Lord went through each prophet separately, but only that He pointed out “the tenor of the Old Testament in its ethical and symbolical character.”
