We would not understand why this Messiah was coming (see Isaiah 53), and we would not have been able to identify Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah through the many detailed prophecies that were given concerning Him [e.g., His birth place (Micah 5:2), His manner of death (Psalm 22, especially verses 1, 7–8, 14–18; 69:21), His resurrection (Psalm 16:10), and many more details of His ministry (Isaiah 9:2; 52:3)].
Sisi hatungeelewa ni kwa nini Masihi alikuja (ona Isaya 53), na sisi hatungeweza kuwa na uwezo wa kumtambua Yesu wa Nazareti kama Masihi kupitia kwa unabii mwingi wa kina kuwa walipewa habari zake [kwa mfano, mahali pakepa kuzaliwa (Mika 5: 2), njia yake ya kifo (Zaburi 22, hasa mistari 1, 7-8, 14-18; 69:21), ufufuo wake (Zaburi 16:10), na maelezo mengi zaidi ya huduma yake (Isaya 9:2; 52:3)].
