5. Luke 24:25–27 Then He said to them, “O
foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all
that the prophets have spoken! 26 Ought not
the Christ to have suffered these things and to
enter into His glory?” 27 And beginning at
Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to
them in all the Scriptures the things concerning
Himself.

6. Luke 24:44–47 Then He said to them, “These are
the words which I spoke to you while I was still
with you, that all things must be fulfilled which
were written in the Law of Moses and the
Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And
He opened their understanding, that they might
comprehend the Scriptures. 46 Then He said to
them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was
necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from
the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance
and remission of sins should be preached in His
name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

7. John 5:45–46 Do not think that I shall accuse
you to the Father; there is one who accuses
you—Moses, in whom you trust. 46 For if you
believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he
wrote about Me.
John 5:39 You search the Scriptures, for in
them you think you have eternal life; and these
are they which testify of Me.

8. Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to
worship him. But he said to me, “See that you
do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of
your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus.
Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the
spirit of prophecy.”

9. 1 Corinthians 2:14 For the natural man does not
receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they
are foolishness to him; nor can he know them,
because they are spiritually discerned.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him
(Nicodemus), “Most assuredly, I say to you,
unless one is born again, he cannot see the
kingdom of God.”
John 8:31–32 Then Jesus said to those Jews who
believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are
My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

10. 2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself
approved to God, a workman who does not
need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth.

11. 2 Timothy 3:16–17 All Scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness, 17 that the
man of God may be complete, thoroughly
equipped for every good work.

12. Derek Kidner: “There can scarcely be another
part of Scripture over which so many battles,
theological, scientific, historical and literary,
have been fought, or so many strong opinions
cherished.”
Martin Luther: "I beg and faithfully warn every
pious Christian not to stumble at the simplicity
of the language and stories that will often meet
him there [in Genesis]. He should not doubt
that, however simple they may seem, these are
the very words, works, judgments, and deeds of
the high majesty, power, and wisdom of God."

13. The title “Genesis” is a transliteration of the Greek word
which is the title of the book of Genesis in the Septuagint,
the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament. In the
Hebrew text, the word Bereshith, is the first word of the
text, being translated, “in the beginning.”

14. J. Sidlow Baxter in his monumental work, Explore
the Book, sums up the difficulty of authorship by
the question, “Is it Mosaic, or a mosaic?”
