I have yet 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 (Joh 16:)).
