The odds of one person fulfilling only a mere 8 of the messianic prophecies are 1 in 10 to the 17th power (1 in 1017). The odds then of Jesus or any one person fulfilling only 48 prophecies would be 1 in 10 to the 157th power (1 in 10157). The fact that over 330 were fulfilled by Jesus is beyond the realm of possibility without divine intervention. Here is a list of only 60.
