“Then Jesus
Said to them.
‘These are my words
That I spoke to you,
While I was still
With you.
Everything written
About me
In the law of Moses,
The prophets,
And the psalms
Must be fulfilled.’”
Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς Οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι μου οὓς ἐλάλησα πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἔτι ὢν σὺν ὑμῖν, ὅτι δεῖ πληρωθῆναι πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωϋσέως καὶ τοῖς προφήταις καὶ ψαλμοῖς περὶ ἐμοῦ.
Only Luke uniquely has Jesus speak these words to his disciples. Jesus said to them (Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτούς) that these were his words (Οὗτοι οἱ λόγοι μου) that he spoke to them (οὓς ἐλάλησα πρὸς ὑμᾶς) while he was still with them (ἔτι ὢν σὺν ὑμῖν). Everything written (πάντα τὰ γεγραμμένα) about him (περὶ ἐμοῦ), Jesus, that was in the law of Moses (ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωϋσέως), the prophets (καὶ τοῖς προφήταις), and the psalms (καὶ ψαλμοῖς) must be fulfilled (ὅτι δεῖ πληρωθῆναι). This sounds just like what he was telling the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. Luke and Jesus used the traditional divisions of the Bible as the law and the prophets, plus the psalms or writings or wisdom literature, as in verse 27 of this chapter. Are you aware of the law of Moses and the prophets?
