Puh-leeze!
Jesus mentioning this as a prophecy (whether put into his mouth or not, which by the way shows an extreme amount of skepticism, but let's leave that alone) would surely have been followed up by : "See, Jesus said it and it happened!" yet that is not what was written.
"Almost all scholars" ? Uh, No. I think you mean all skeptic scholars.
I suggest that you do what I did. Look it up on your own. Consult any source you like. (Non-gnostic, however, they tend to be even more dishonest than the usual skeptic.)
