Prophecy

Predictions whose fulfilment is claimed by one reader and disputed by another.

Did Jeremiah say it, or Zechariah? Matthew 27:9-10 Matthew 27:9-10; Zechariah 11:12-13; Jeremiah 18:1-4; Jeremiah 32:6-9
Matthew says a prophecy about the thirty pieces of silver was spoken by Jeremiah. The wording is mainly from Zechariah.
Did Jesus expect to return within a generation? Matthew 24:34 Matthew 24:34; Mark 13:30-32; Matthew 16:28; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 2 Peter 3:3-8
Several sayings suggest that Jesus's return and the end of the age would come within the lifetime of his hearers. They are still waiting.
Is Hosea 11:1 a prophecy about Jesus? Matthew 2:15 Hosea 11:1; Matthew 2:13-15
Matthew quotes Hosea's line about God calling his son out of Egypt as fulfilled in Jesus, but in Hosea the verse looks back at the Exodus.
Was Ezekiel's prophecy against Tyre fulfilled? Ezekiel 26 and 29 Ezekiel 26:3-14; Ezekiel 29:17-20
Ezekiel says Nebuchadnezzar will destroy Tyre and that it will never be rebuilt. Tyre was besieged, then taken by Alexander, and is a city today.
Who is the suffering servant in Isaiah 53, Israel or Jesus? Isaiah 52:13-53:12; Isaiah 49:3; Acts 8:30-35
Christians read Isaiah 53 as a prophecy of Jesus. Jewish tradition reads the servant as Israel. The text of Isaiah itself calls the servant Israel in other places.
