"Another prophecy about this same event when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the back a donkey is: “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donk ...[text shortened]... and 3 of 7)

"Evidence You Can’t Ignore"
"4. Jesus’ Ministry
He came to the downtrodden and brokenhearted. He would heal and perform miraculous signs.
Prophecy:
“Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. Then the lame will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb will shout for joy. For waters will break forth in the wilderness and streams in the Arabah.” ~ Isaiah 35:5-6
“The Spirit of the LORD God is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, and freedom to prisoners; to proclaim the favorable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn.” ~ Isaiah 61:1-2
Fulfillment:
“He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are downtrodden, to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord.” ~ Luke 4:18-19
5. That He Would Be Rejected By His Fellow Jews
“Then He shall become a sanctuary; But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over, and a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.” ~ Isaiah 8:14
“He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way. He was despised, and we did not care.” ~ Isaiah 53:3
“The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief corner stone.” ~ Psalms 118:22
6. Jesus Betrayed
The Jewish scriptures predict that Jesus would be betrayed by a close friend. They also name the exact price paid for this betrayal. “Even my close friend, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.” ~ Psalms 41:9
“It is not an enemy who taunts me—I could bear that. It is not my foes who so arrogantly insult me—I could have hidden from them. Instead, it is you—my equal, my companion and close friend.” ~ Psalms 55:12-13
“So they counted out for my wages thirty pieces of silver. And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—this magnificent sum at which they valued me! So I took the thirty coins and threw them to the potter in the Temple of the Lord.” ~ Zach 11:12-13
Judas Iscariot was paid 30 pieces of silver for betraying Jesus. After he did this, he took the money back to the Pharisees and threw it back to them. The money was used by this group to by the “Potter’s Field” (Matt 27:3-10).
