I would argue that the Protestant tradition of Biblical interpretation, including the very idea of sola scriptura is itself extra-Biblical.
Jesus didn't seem to think so ...John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.And, the Catholic interpretation, the understanding of Scripture is a part of what was revealed, along with the words themselves.
Even if the words aren't there ?

You think that's a sola scriptura proof text?
Jesus says that the OT Scriptures testify of Him. They do. There's no controversy.
Jesus doesn't say that only these Scriptures do so, nor that He intended us to live by just these Scriptures.
