Jesus' View of the Old Testament "The
importance attached to what a teacher says is inextricably
bound up with what kind of person he is. In the case of
Jesus this is supremely important...Jesus saw himself, and
other came to believe him to be, both man and God. In this
case he is unique among men and his teaching must carry with
it a unique authority. What Jesus says about the Old
Testament must be regarded on the same footing as what he
says about his mission. It will be clear from the following
evidence that he had the highest possible regard for the Old
Testament text and recognized in its words the voice of God. Donald
Guthrie, "New Testament Theology" (England:
Inter-Varsity Press, 1981) p. 957
