Prophecy in Luke

1. Jesus misquotes Deuteronomy by adding "only" to Dt.6:13. 4:8

2. "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me."
   These words were spoken by Isaiah and referred to Isaiah. They were not a prophecy about a future prophet, as Jesus claims here, where he supposedly read these verses in the synagogue while applying them to himself. 4:16-20

3. Jesus falsely predicts that some of his listeners would live to see him return and establish the kingdom of God. 9:27

4. Jesus prophesies that families will be divided because of him and his teachings. Sadly, this is one prophecy that has been fulfilled. 12:52-53

5. Jesus says that all that he describes (his return, signs in the sun, moon, and stars, etc.) will occur within the within the lifetime of his listeners. 21:32

6. Jesus claims that his suffering and death were a fulfillment of prophecy. But there is no such prophecy in the Old Testament. 24:44, 46
