Exegesis
The adversative all {ἀλλʼ | all} “but” introduces a hina-clause of divine purpose: hina plērōthōsin hai graphai {ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαί | hí-na plē-rō-thō-sin hai gra-phai} “so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.” The aorist subjunctive passive plērōthōsin signals the intended outcome under divine initiative, while hai graphai, with the article, points to the recognized body of sacred writings. In English, the purpose clause is rendered with “so that” in the formal version to preserve explicit purpose, and “so that … will come true” in the dynamic version to express the sense of necessary fulfillment in contemporary idiom, while retaining the flow from narrative description to theological explanation.
In context — Mark 14:49
Day by day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this took place so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.
