Exegesis
The impersonal verb dei {δεῖ | deî} with the aorist passive infinitive telesthenai {τελεσθῆναι | te-les-thē-nai} conveys divine necessity for fulfillment, with the prepositional phrase en emoi {ἐν ἐμοί | en e-mói} specifying the locus in Jesus’ person.
In context — Luke 22:37
For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me : “And He was counted with the lawless.” For indeed, what concerns Me has its fulfillment .
