Answer:

Psalms 22:6-7 is about the insults Jesus will receive in his life(and on the cross), the insults He received in Matthew 27:39-40.

'39 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads

40 and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!'

Psalms 22:15-16 says

'15 My mouth is dried up like a potsherd,

and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;

you lay me in the dust of death.

16 Dogs surround me,

a pack of villains encircles me;

they pierce my hands and my feet.'.

it is about the physical pain, which also happens during the crucifixion; and says "you lay me in the dust of death." so this verb is about Jesus's death(crucifixion), which is described in Luke 23:33-34 and Romans 5:6-8.

'Luke 23

33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.

34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.'

'Romans 5

6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.

7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.

8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.'

' Psalms 22:18 They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment. '

- this verb is prophets that Jesus's clothes will be cast which actually happened in Matthew 27:35, and Luke 23:33-34.

'Matthew 27:35 When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.'

'Luke 23

33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.

34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.'

Isaiah 53:4-6

'4 Surely he took up our pain

and bore our suffering,

yet we considered him punished by God,

stricken by him, and afflicted.

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,

he was crushed for our iniquities;

the punishment that brought us peace was on him,

and by his wounds we are healed.

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,

each of us has turned to our own way;

and the Lord has laid on him

the iniquity of us all.' - this verb directly prophets about Christ, and how His wounds healed us.

and in John 19:33-35, the soldier saw Jesus's side being pierced and realized that He truly was the Christ.

'John 19

33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.

35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe.'

Isaiah 53:8-9

'8 By opression[a] and judgment he was taken away.

Yet who of his generation protested?

For he was cut off from the land of the living;

for the transgression of my people he was punished.[b]

9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,

and with the rich in his death,

though he had done no violence,

nor was any deceit in his mouth.'

this verse is also about Jesus's death, But it specifically states in verb 9, that He will be engraved with the wicked, and when Jesus's crucifixion, He was hung with the sinners on both sides. Luke 23:33-34.

'Luke 23

33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.

34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing. And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.'

Isaiah 53:12

'12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[g]

and he will divide the spoils with the strong,[h]

because he poured out his life unto death,

and was numbered with the transgressors.

For he bore the sin of many,

and made intercession for the transgressors.'

when after Jesus died a man named Joseph came and took the corpse of Jesus, wrapped Him in clean linen clothes then placed Him in his own new tomb.- He has received the finest among the tombs, among the clothes.(Matthew 27:57-60)

Matthew 27

57 As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus.

58 Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him.

59 Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

60 and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away.

so, each of the Old Testament Prophecies fitted the one in the New Testament;

prophecies are fulfilled.

Answer:

Mathew 25:37 mentions the garment and the lots, which first appear in Psalm 22:18. Matthew 27:39-40 is about the insults Christ received on the cross, the way was first foreseen in Isaiah 53:3, which also appear in Luke 23:33-34 and Psalm 22:6-7.

Descriptions of Christ's death and burial are found in which was first depicted in Isaiah 53:9 appear in Luke 23:33-34 (Luke 23:34a also mentions the garment and the lots) and Matthew 27:57-60.

Romans 5:6-8 is about Jesus's forgiviness and is also seen in Luke 23:34.
