Christ's pre-authentication of the New Testament:

(1) he expressly declared that He would leave "many things" unrevealed (Joh 16:12).

(2) He promised that this revelation should be completed ("all things") after the Spirit should come, and that such additional revelation should include new prophecies (Joh 16:12).

(3) He chose certain persons to receive such additional revelations, and to be His witnesses to them (Mat 28:19); (Joh 15:27); (Joh 16:13); (Act 1:8); (Act 9:15-17).

(4) he gave to their words when speaking for Him in the Spirit precisely the same authority as His own (Mat 10:14); (Mat 10:15); (Luk 10:16); (Joh 13:20); (Joh 17:20).
