Jesus has pointed backwards now to [[Ge 1:11, 12]] <ref>{{bgw| Ge 1:11}} And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [{grass: Heb. tender grass }] </ref>{{bgw| Ge 1:12}} And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in itself, after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.</ref> He references the seed, the herb and the tree and is giving a commentary on it. It would be fulfilled by him. | |||
