I read once that the Jewish leaders dropped the deuterocanonical scriptures after Jesus’ time because they were being used so effectively by the early Christians. There was one passage in particular that seemed very clearly to point to Jesus but I don’t know where it is. Can anyone point me to it and others that might be similar. Thank you and merry Christmas and happy new year.
 
I believe what you are looking for is in the book of wisdom. chapter 2:12-20
Let us beset the just one, because he is obnoxious to us; he sets himself against our doings, Reproaches us for transgressions of the law and charges us with violations of our training.
He professes to have knowledge of God and styles himself a child of the LORD.
To us he is the censure of our thoughts; merely to see him is a hardship for us,
Because his life is not like other men’s, and different are his ways.
He judges us debased; he holds aloof from our paths as from things impure. He calls blest the destiny of the just and boasts that God is his Father.
Let us see whether his words be true; let us find out what will happen to him.
For if the just one be the son of God, he will defend him and deliver him from the hand of his foes.
With revilement and torture let us put him to the test that we may have proof of his gentleness and try his patience.
Let us condemn him to a shameful death; for according to his own words, God will take care of him."
 
See Wisdom 2:12-20

It is probably the clearest prophecy of the Jesus in the Bible.
