What does the Bible say about Jesus being the Messiah?

Answered in 8 sources

The Bible affirms that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah through fulfilled prophecies in the Old Testament.

Throughout scripture, particularly in the Old Testament, various prophecies foretold the coming of the Messiah. For instance, Genesis 49:10 declares that 'the scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes.' This prophecy signifies that the rightful ruler would come from the tribe of Judah, which is precisely where Jesus' lineage is traced. In Matthew 11:3, John the Baptist himself questioned if Jesus was the Messiah, affirming the expectation of a coming Savior. Thus, the New Testament consistently portrays Jesus as the fulfillment of these prophetic scriptures, confirming his identity as the Messiah.
