Like I said, "Christ's as passed on by ovrtaxt." Why should I believe your interpretation of the Bible over the Magisterium? Or for that matter, your interpretation over 20 other random Protestants? These are the two things that really bother me about Sola Scriptura in practice (in theory I have many more problems with it). First, it's very myopic and subjective. Each Protestant feels that it is a self-evident and irrefutable argument by saying "It says such in the Bible", not realizing that others might have a differing interpretation which by definition is allowable in Sola Scriptura, as all men are able to interpret the Bible through the Holy Spirit.
Second, not all interpretations are created equal. By default, any Catholic interpretation is deemed invalid.
