So the Scripture was fulfilled
This phrase underscores the divine orchestration and prophetic fulfillment inherent in the events of Jesus' crucifixion. The Greek word for "fulfilled" is "πληρόω" (plēroō), which means to complete or bring to realization. This indicates that the events were not random but were part of God's sovereign plan, as foretold in the Old Testament. The fulfillment of Scripture is a recurring theme in the Gospel of Mark, emphasizing the reliability and divine inspiration of the biblical text. It reassures believers that God's promises are trustworthy and His plans are unerring.

that says
This phrase introduces a direct quotation from the Old Testament, specifically Isaiah 53:12. The use of "that says" highlights the authority and enduring relevance of the Scriptures. In the original Greek, the word "λέγει" (legei) is used, which is a present tense verb, suggesting that the Scriptures continue to speak to us today. This reflects the belief that the Word of God is living and active, continually revealing truth to each generation.

And He was numbered
The phrase "He was numbered" comes from the Greek "ἐλογίσθη" (elogisthē), which means to be counted or reckoned among. This indicates that Jesus was identified with sinners, despite His sinlessness. It is a profound theological statement about the nature of Jesus' mission—to fully identify with humanity in its fallen state. This identification is central to the doctrine of atonement, where Jesus takes on the sins of the world to bring about redemption.

with the transgressors
The term "transgressors" is translated from the Greek "ἀνόμοις" (anomois), meaning lawbreakers or sinners. This phrase is a direct reference to Isaiah 53:12, which prophesies the suffering servant who would bear the sins of many. Historically, this was fulfilled when Jesus was crucified between two criminals, physically placing Him among those who had broken the law. Spiritually, it signifies Jesus' role as the sin-bearer, taking upon Himself the punishment deserved by humanity. This act of substitutionary atonement is central to Christian theology, emphasizing God's grace and mercy in providing a way for reconciliation through Christ.

(28) And the scripture was fulfilled.--The verse, if genuine, would be noticeable as one of the few instances in which St. Mark dwells on the fulfilment of prophecy; but it is omitted by nearly all the better MSS., and probably originated in a marginal note, calling attention to the fulfilment of the prophecy which we find quoted by our Lord as about to be fulfilled in Luke 22:37.

Verse 28. - This verse is omitted in the oldest manuscripts. It is supposed to have been taken from St. Luke (Luke 22:37).
