Christ's pre-authentication of the New Testament:
(1) he expressly declared that He would leave "many things" unrevealed (John 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 (John 16:0:)).
(3) He chose certain persons to receive such additional revelations, and to be His witnesses to them Matthew 28:19; John 15:27; John 16:13; Acts 1:8; Acts 9:15-17.
