The scriptures must be fulfilled

Jesus taught in Luke 24:19-44. that the scriptures in the Old Testament concerning himself must be fulfilled vs 26, 44.

Also turn to Romans 15:12, NIV….the Gentiles will hope in him.

Luke 24:17-30,44
[17]Jesus said to them, “What are you talking about to each other, as you walk along?”They stood still, with sad faces.
[18]One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that have been happening there these last few days?”
[19]“What things?” he asked.“The things that happened to Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet and was considered by God and by all the people to be powerful in everything he said and did.
[20]Our chief priests and rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and he was crucified.
[21]And we had hoped that he would be the one who was going to set Israel free! Besides all that, this is now the third day since it happened.
[22]Some of the women of our group surprised us; they went at dawn to the tomb,
[23]but could not find his body. They came back saying they had seen a vision of angels who told them that he is alive.
[24]Some of our group went to the tomb and found it exactly as the women had said, but they did not see him.”
[25]Then Jesus said to them, “How foolish you are, how slow you are to believe everything the prophets said!
[26]Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and then to enter his glory?”
[27]And Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures, beginning with the books of Moses and the writings of all the prophets.
[28]As they came near the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if he were going farther;
[29]but they held him back, saying, “Stay with us; the day is almost over and it is getting dark.” So he went in to stay with them.
[30]He sat down to eat with them, took the bread, and said the blessing; then he broke the bread and gave it to them.
[44]Then he said to them, “These are the very things I told you about while I was still with you: everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the writings of the prophets, and the Psalms had to come true.”
