What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
And He quiets their fears not thus only, but by reference to Scripture, How then shall the Scriptures he fulfilled that thus it must be?
Theophylact of Ohrid
All these things must be, He says, in order to fulfill the Scriptures which had foretold them. The Jews were not wicked because the Scriptures had foretold that they would be; rather, these events were described in the Scriptures beforehand by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit because the Jews would do these things of their own evil will.
Western Saints
Jerome
This speech shows a mind willing to suffer; vainly would the Prophets have prophesied truly, unless the Lord asserts their truth by His suffering.
Thomas Aquinas
How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled? Here the third reason is set forth, why he should not hinder: because the Scriptures have so declared; and therefore it must so be. And he does not say which Scriptures, because all the prophets said this either obscurely or manifestly. Hence Luke, last chapter, verse 26: ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and so to enter into his glory?
