Mark 1:2

[Azad]

Mark 1:2 as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, *I* send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way.

Where does it say that in Isaiah couldn't find it anywere..

I did find domething similar in Mal. 3:1

Are you asking where does it say in Isaiah that Jesus will prepare the way? If so, I had a glance at Isaiah and found some chapters:

- Isaiah 42:1-10

- Isaiah 53 - This verse describes Jesus and they way things will be perfectly.

As I said, I only had a glance and i'm certain there are more verses. However, I'm not sure if this is what you asked for lol.

The specific prophecy is a combination of Malachi 3:1, Isaiah 40:3, and Exodus 23:20.

At least Mark didn't miss the boat entirely, like Matthew did in Matthew 27:9, where he attributes a prophecy to Jeremiah, when it's actually found in Zecheriah 11:12-13.

Hi there!



Some of the old manuscripts identify the source. The Old Latin Vulgate and Syrian text carry an additional comment, "as it is written by the prophet Isaiah" as do some of the Greek sources, but not all manuscripts carry the Isaiah citation.

Isaiah 40:3
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. ~serapha~

Hi there!



"Jerom affirms, that in an Hebrew volume, being an apocryphal work of Jeremy, which was shown him by one of the Nazarene sect, he read these words verbatim: so that though they do not stand in the writings of Jeremy, which are canonical Scripture, yet in an apocryphal book of his...."

It never ceases to amaze me that professing Christians will not seek to reconcile the "Scriptures".

I just wanted to say that it wasn't Jesus preparing the way but John the Baptist. Mark 1:2 is found in Isaiah 40:3, according to NIV others may differ. However, it was John's specific role to prepare the way of Jesus, through his preaching and actions. St. Luke gives a better narrative of their relationship in his Gospel than that of St. Mark's.

Anybody has an explanation for this???

mathew 27:9 attributes a prophecy to Jeremiah, when it's actually found in Zecheriah 11:12-13

How can it be true?
if MAthew was inspired, he shouldn't have made such a mistake!!

 

[Wolseley]

Matthew apparently was confusing the texts of Jeremiah with Zecheriah, but this does not alter the religious truth of what he was saying---which was that Judas Iscariot payed the ultimate price for betraying Christ, thus fulfilling prophecy.

"Subsequent Mention." Let me show you Acts 20:35:

Acts 20:35NASB)

"In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

Here the apostle Paul is speaking to the elders of the church and he reminds them of something that Jesus had said. Where in the Gospels do we find this quote? It's not there. Does that mean that Paul was mistaken? No, it simply means that it was not recorded in the Gospel record.

John 20:30,31(NASB)

30 "Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

31 but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name." So the concept of "Subsequent Mention" is that Paul mentions something that Jesus taught, that was not recorded in the Gospel record, but is now recorded by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit by Paul. Similarly, in our passage in Matthew 27:9, we have Jeremiah speaking, Zechariah records the conversation sometime later, and Matthew, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, quotes the statement and assigns it to Jeremiah. This is really a divine commentary on who said what! Who's word are you going to accept, the word of the critic, who certainly was not there, and in a sense has no right to deny the truth of the Biblical record, or will we take an inspired man's statement about who said what (in this case Matthews)?

Oh, just ignore this...
