APPENDIX F - MATTHEW'S USE OF 'FULFILL'
a

Mat 1:20-23 But when he had considered this behold an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying, "Joseph son of David do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for that which has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. "And she will bear a son; and you shall call His name Jesus for it is He who will save His people from their sins. "Now all this took place that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled saying, "Behold the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son and they shall call his name Immanuel which translated means, "God with us."

Mat 2:14-15 And he arose and took the Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt; and was there until the death of Herod that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet might be fulfilled saying, "Out of Egypt did I call my son."

Mat 2:17-18 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled saying, "A voice was heard in Ramah weeping and great mourning Rachel weeping for her children; and she refused to be comforted because they were no more."

Mat 2:23 and came and resided in a city called Nazareth that what was spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, "He shall be called a Nazarene."

Mat 3:14-17 But John tried to prevent Him saying, "I have need to be baptized by You and do You come to me?" But Jesus answering said to him"Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he permitted Him. And after being baptized Jesus went up immediately from the water; and behold the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and coming upon Him and behold a voice out of the heavens saying, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased."

Mat 4:12-16 Now when He heard that John had been taken into custody He withdrew into Galilee; and leaving Nazareth He came and settled in Capernaum which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet saying, "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali by the way of the sea beyond the Jordan Galilee of the Gentiles - "The people who were sitting in darkness saw a great light and to those who were sitting in the land and shadow of death upon them a light dawned."

Mat 5:17 Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you until heaven and earth pass away not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law until all is accomplished.

Mat 8:16-17 And when evening had come they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were ill in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled saying, "He himself took our infirmities and carried away our diseases."

Mat 12:12-21 "Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep! So then it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath." Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your hand!" And he stretched it out and it was restored to normal like the other. But the Pharisees went out and counseled together against Him as to how they might destroy Him. But Jesus aware of this withdrew from there. And many followed Him and He healed them all and warned them not to make Him known in order that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled saying, "Behold my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul is well-pleased; I will put my spirit upon him and he shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles. "He will not quarrel nor cry out; nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets…a battered reed he will not break off and a smoldering wick he will not put out until he leads justice to victory…and in his name the Gentiles will hope."

Mat 13:14-15 "And in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled which says"you will keep on hearing but will not understand; and you will keep on seeing but will not perceive; for the heart of this people has become dull and with their ears they scarcely hear and they have closed their eyes lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and return and I should heal them."

Mat 13:34-35 All these things Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables and He did not speak to them without a parable so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled saying, "I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world."

Mat 21:2-5 saying to them Go into the village opposite you and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me. And if anyone says something to you, you shall say'The Lord has need of them' and immediately he will send them. Now this took place that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled saying, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'behold your king is coming to you gentle and mounted on a donkey even on a colt the foal of a beast of burden.'"

Mat 26:52-54 Then Jesus said to him Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father and He will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must happen this way?

Mat 26:55-56 At that time Jesus said to the multitudes Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize me. But all this has taken place that the Scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left Him and fled.

Mat 27:5-10 And he threw the pieces of silver into the sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury since it is the price of blood. And they counseled together and with the money bought the Potter's Field as a burial place for strangers. For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled saying, "and they took the thirty pieces of silver the price of the one whose price had been set by the sons of Israel; and they gave them for the potter's field as the Lord directed me."
