How do we know that Jesus fulfills Old Testament prophecy?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' actions and character reflect the prophecies of the Old Testament, confirming His identity as the Messiah.

The New Testament frequently links Jesus to Old Testament prophecies, particularly in Matthew 12, where his actions are aligned with Isaiah's description of the Messiah. For example, after healing the multitudes, Jesus commands them not to make him known, fulfilling the words of Isaiah that the servant of God would not shout or draw attention to himself, but rather bring forth justice and mercy. Matthew explicitly states that these occurrences were to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, establishing the continuity between Jesus' ministry and the prophetic Scriptures.
