Jan, don't you really mean to state "Prophecies Allegedly Fulfilled by Jesus"? I mean, the prophecies are there alright, and you're questioning that Jesus fulfilled them? Or do you mean your statement as it appears?
And to you others, it is NOT impossible to prove a negative, it is merely difficult in most cases. However, consider how easy it is to prove it is NOT raining in any given face-to-face conversation. Or that the sky is not green. Or any number of negative propositions.
Proving that you did NOT commit murder is something else altogether and it is difficult, though not impossible.
As for Matthew, I really think that given these guys were Jews, after all, and some had personal axes to grind with their own religion (perhaps in proving that Jesus was the Messiah for instance), it is not surprising that he and others went out of their way to attempt to prove that Jesus fulfilled this or that prophecy. And these are claim they made for him, he didn't make those claims for himself.

Where it is a duty to worship the Sun you can be sure that a study of the laws of heat is a crime.
