Study Note

The citation 'that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause' applies Psalm 35:19 and 69:4 to the world's hostility toward Jesus — making the rejection not arbitrary but the fulfillment of a scriptural pattern of unjust enmity against the righteous. The phrase 'their law' (ho nomos ho humeteros) may carry a slight ironic edge: the very scriptures that define Jewish identity contain the testimony of their own rejection of God's envoy. The logic of the verse is apologetic: the world's hatred of Jesus is not evidence against his divine mission but evidence for it, fulfilling the pattern of the righteous sufferer in the Psalms. This hermeneutic of persecution-as-fulfillment shaped early Christian apologetic from 1 Peter 2:4-8 onward.
