Abstract Details

2020, Master of Arts in Biblical Studies, Athenaeum of Ohio, School of Theology.
The unique and repeated statement that the “Messiah must suffer according to the Scriptures” in Luke-Acts is an unsolved mystery. There are no specific references to which Scriptures are being fulfilled when this statement is made. The purpose of this study is to explore the internal evidence in Luke-Acts for the Scriptures used to support this statement. This is accomplished through the application of an intertextual method. Three proposed systems which scholars have investigated are explored: first, the Suffering Servant in Isaiah; second, the suffering prophets of Israel and the prophet-like-Moses of Deuteronomy 18; third, the righteous sufferer in the Psalms, who is assumed to be royal David. The project concludes that all three of these motifs can be understood as present in a significant way in Luke-Acts, each with its own particular usage.
