Jesus Christ would be hated without reason.

Isaiah chapter 49 verse 7 This is what the LORD says– the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel– to him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the servant of rulers: “Kings will see you and rise up, princes will see and bow down, because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.” (Written about 750bc)

Psalms 69 verse 4 Those who hate me without reason outnumber the hairs of my head; many are my enemies without cause, those who seek to destroy me. I am forced to restore what I did not steal. (Written about 1000bc)

John chapter 15: verses 24-25 If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.  But this is to fulfil what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’ (Written about 80ad)

Jesus Christ would be rejected by the Jewish people.

Psalm 69 verse 8 I am a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my own mother’s sons. (Written about 1000bc)

Isaiah chapter 29 verse 13 The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouth and honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.

Isaiah chapter 53 verse 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Written about 750bc)

Matthew chapter 15 verses 1-9 then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!” Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?  For God said, ‘Honour your father and mother’ and ‘anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’  But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, ‘Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’ he is not to ‘honour his father ‘ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition.  You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:  “These people honour me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.  They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.” (Written about 60ad)

Mark chapter 6 verse 3 isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. (Written between 50-60ad)

John chapter 1 verse 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.

John chapter 7 verses 3-5 Jesus’ brothers said to him, “You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do.  No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”  For even his own brothers did not believe in him. (Written about 80ad)
