Greetings,

In Luke 24:44 Jesus says:

DEI PLHRWQHNAI PANTA TA GEGRAMMENA EN TWi NOMWi MWUSEWOS KAI TOIS
PROFHTAIS KAI YALMOIS PERI EMOU

What does the phrase PERI EMOU modify?

1. PLHRWQHNAI: in this case, the meaning of the text would be “all
scripture must be fulfilled concerning me,” indicating that the entire OT
must be fulfilled concerning Jesus.
2. PANTA TA GEGRAMMENA: in this case (“all scripture passages concerning
me must be fulfilled”), what must be fulfilled is only the part of the OT
that is written about Jesus.

Thank you.
