But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
But [this cometh to pass], that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law (Psalms 69:4 ), They hated me without a cause. The New Testament references to this Messianic psalm of suffering are numerous (see John 2:17; Acts 1:20; Romans 11:9-10; Romans 15:3), and this one, as here used, is very striking.
