THE BOOK OF LIFE-GIVING KNOWLEDGE 75
lie three times repelled the enemy by quoting
from memory three texts from the Mosaic book
of Deuteronomy, each time saying : "It is written."-Matthew
4 :4, 7, 10 .
6 Proving the resurrection of the dead, he said
to the Sadducees : "Did you not read in the book
of Moses, in the account about the thorn-bush,
how God said to him: I am the God of Abraham
and God of Isaac and God of Jacob'?" Mark
12 :26, NW; Exodus 3 :6 In a controversy with
the scribes he said : "How is it they say that the
Christ is David's son? For David himself says in
the book of Psalms, Jehovah said to my Lord,
Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies
a stool for your feet .' David, therefore, calls him
Lord' ; so how is he his son?"-Luke 20 :41-44,
NW; Psalm 110 :1 .
Jesus is thus proved to have read and familiarized
himself with the book of Moses, the
Prophets, and the Psalms . As the record shows,
not only did he copiously quote the Scriptures in
support of the truth and in proof of his identity,
down to the hour of his death, but after his resurrection
he continued to direct his disciples to the
Scriptures : "And commencing at Moses and all
the Prophets he interpreted to them things pertaining
to himself in all the Scriptures ." "He now
said to them : These are my words which I spoke
to you while I was yet with you, that all the
things written in the law of Moses and in the
Prophets and Psalms about me must be fulfilled .'
7. Did he refer to them only till his death? What is the
proof?
