Luke 16 — in particular, the parable of Lazarus and the rich man starting in verse 19.

Reasons:
> Only parable in which a person is named... in this case I believe it’s to honor Lazarus since he had to die (John 11) for a demonstration of God’s power in Jesus.
> Also (see verse 31) it’s an explanation that we don’t simply have a ‘blind faith’ as many believe. We have written evidence of prophecies and historic overcomes of these prophecies that give substance to our faith.

In other words, the scriptures should be as sufficient to prove Jesus is the Christ as when he raised that same Lazarus from the dead.

* historic “outcomes”... not ‘overcomes’
