The Biblical Answer
The sheer number and specificity of prophecies Jesus fulfilled is staggering. He was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14/Matthew 1:23), in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2/Matthew 2:1), from David's line (Jeremiah 23:5/Matthew 1:1). He entered Jerusalem on a donkey (Zechariah 9:9/Matthew 21:5), was betrayed for 30 silver pieces (Zechariah 11:12/Matthew 26:15), was silent before accusers (Isaiah 53:7/Matthew 27:12), was crucified with criminals (Isaiah 53:12/Luke 23:33), had His garments divided by lots (Psalm 22:18/John 19:24), and rose on the third day (Psalm 16:10/Acts 2:31). The cumulative probability of one person fulfilling even 48 of these prophecies has been calculated at 1 in 10^157.
