Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

All the scriptures?

That verse doesn't mean every verse refers to Christ. It is the typical Lucan exaggeration ("All Jerusalem"). The time wouldn't permit Christ to explicate every verse in the Old Testament during a walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus.

What Luke is saying is that both Torah and Prophets predicted Christ. He's not claiming every chapter or every book did.
