Luke 24:25- 27 25And he said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" 27And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

Scripture was enough for people to recognize Jesus for who He was. Jesus used Scripture alone for that purpose and all He had was the OT to top it off.

[MarkBsnr]

Scripture was enough for people to recognize Jesus for who He was. Jesus used Scripture alone for that purpose and all He had was the OT to top it off.

Which people? TT makes an excellent point in that even the Apostles didn't fully understand the divinity of Jesus until Pentecost. The Jews and those most expert in the OT rejected Jesus entirely. It took a blinding flash on the road to Damascus and curing of his blindness to convert Paul. Jesus taught from the OT numerous times and gave them a novel interpretation that almost all Jews rejected and still do to this day.
