Acts 13:27-29
What is written? (ESV)
For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him. And though they found in him no guilt worthy of death, they asked Pilate to have him executed. And when they had carried out all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
What does it say?
Those living in Jerusalem condemned Him and thus fulfilled the things concerning Him [Jesus] because they didn’t recognize Him [as Messiah] and connect what’s read every Sabbath in the prophets concerning Him. Despite the fact they found Him guilty of no crime worthy of death, they demanded that Pilate execute Him. And when everything written about Him was fulfilled, they took Him off the cross and placed Him in the tomb.
What is its immediate context?
Paul’s gospel sermon while in the synagogue in Antioch in Pisidia on the Sabbath day.
How Acts 13:27-29 is applied across Bible answers
What does Jesus mean by “fulfill all that is written” (Luke 21:22)?
Paul says "all that was written" about Jesus was "carried out" (e.g. fulfilled) when they killed and buried Him.
The "all" is not everything that had been written about Jesus. Rather, it would be understood that everything written about His crucifixion had been fulfilled. In fact, Paul goes on to talk about other things being fulfilled at His resurrection (vs 32).
