18:31-33 Jesus probably had in mind at least Is 52:13–53:12. Evidence that some first-century Jews understood this passage as a reference to the Messiah is disputed, but the links in Isaiah’s “servant songs” to the Davidic messianism of Is 11 justify such a reading. Other passages possibly alluded to by Jesus include Ps 22, 118:22, Is 50:4-9, and Dn 9:26. (“Prophets” could be used broadly to refer to any in the OT who prophesied.)
