Matthew 23:39
Next Verse

For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Note 28 at Mt. 23:39: By comparing this verse with Luke 13:35, we see that this prophecy of Jesus had been given before (see note 6 at Lk. 13:35, p. 284). The first time Jesus said this, He was on His way to Jerusalem and the multitudes used these exact words to praise Him as He made His way into the city. However, in this case, there was no triumphant entry and only rejection lay ahead. Therefore, this prophecy must be in reference to a yet future fulfillment where the Jews will recognize Jesus as their Messiah (Ps. 14:7; 53:6; Isa. 59:20; Rom. 11:26).
