“Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.”
'Then I said, 'Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in the scroll of the book'' — Christ's incarnational commitment is framed as obedience (poiēsai to thelēma sou); he comes not to perpetuate sacrifice but to replace it with his own will-doing. Written in the scroll (en kephaliditōs tou biblou) indicates that Christ's coming was prophetically anticipated.
