    • 2:12

      as he says: Paul here quotes from Ps 22, and he is inspired to present the words as if Jesus were the speaker. That psalm contains a number of passages that were prophetic of the Messiah. (Compare Ps 22:1 with Mt 27:46 and study note; Ps 22:8 with Mt 27:41-43; Ps 22:15, 16 with Joh 19:28; Ps 22:18 with Mt 27:35; Lu 23:34; Joh 19:24.) While there is no specific record of Jesus’ quoting the words of Ps 22:22 during his ministry, he in effect said those words by living them and fulfilling them.

      in the midst of the congregation: This phrase is taken from Ps 22:22. There King David expressed his love for the privilege of praising Jehovah among his fellow Israelites. They made up “the congregation of Jehovah.” (De 23:3) Though David was their king, he called his subjects “my brothers.” (Compare De 17:15; 1Ch 28:2.) Similarly, though Jesus Christ rules over the Christian congregation, he views all anointed Christians as his spiritual brothers. (Mt 25:40; see study note on Col 1:13.) Together, Christ and his anointed followers make up “God’s household.”​—See study note on 1Ti 3:15.
