Moses wrote about Jesus in the Book of the Law, the Torah; the Pentateuch

 

The NT often refers back to the scriptures in the OT tying them both together as

ONE INSPIRED BOOK of knowledge written through men

as they were inspired by the Holy Spirit.   Josh McDowell

 

2 Peter 1:20-21 – The Holy Spirit inspired the scriptures

20 Above all, you must understand that

NO PROPHECY OF SCRIPTURE CAME ABOUT

BY THE PROPHET'S OWN INTERPRETATION.

21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man,

BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS

THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG

BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

NIV

 

John 5:46-47 – Jesus said the Torah taught about Him

46 IF YOU BELIEVED MOSES,

YOU WOULD BELIEVE ME,

FOR HE WROTE ABOUT ME.

47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?"

NIV

 

John 14:6 – I am THE WAY, the truth and the life

6 "I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.

 NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER

EXCEPT THROUGH ME”.

NIV

 

Acts 24:14 – I worship the God of “THE WAY”

14 I ADMIT THAT I WORSHIP THE GOD OF OUR FATHERS

AS A FOLLOWER OF THE WAY,

WHICH THEY CALL A SECT. 

I BELIEVE EVERYTHING THAT AGREES WITH THE LAW

AND THAT IS WRITTEN IN THE PROPHETS,

NIV
