Re: What about that prophesy?

The chapter represents the reasonings of the wicked against the righteous, against God, etc. It is believed to be a prophecy of Christ's death, but it is not presented as such. It is rather presented as the mindset of the wicked against the godly. As Christ is in fact godly, and His killers ungodly, the text bears out as an accurate example and insight into the mind of those opposed to Christ.

Either that, or it is a Christian interpolation into the Jewish text. Note, the ISBE (International Standard Bible Encyclopedia maintains the book is a pre-Christian Alexandrian Jewish writing without trace of Christian authorship).
Yes i kjnow that thsoe texts were not Christian.Septuagint were written 300 years before Christ and those apocrypha books were founded in Dead sea scrolls too!Some in Hebrew too!
