ACTS 13:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.”
The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath — Paul shifts from promise to rejection, from David to the crucifixion. The Jerusalem leadership's failure to recognize (ginōskō) Jesus despite their knowledge of Scripture reveals spiritual blindness despite textual familiarity. Yet even this rejection fulfills prophecy (pleōo, to fill), suggesting divine sovereignty overrides human resistance.
