Jesus said: " Mose wrote about Me."

He said something like that. I cannot remember where in the Gospels.

Any help?

Thanks
 
How about this?
If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me. (John 5:45)
 
Numbers 23:
18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; Hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
19 God is not a man, that he should lie, Neither the son of man, that he should repent: Hath he said, and will he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and will he not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: And he hath blessed, and I cannot reverse it.

And
17 I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not nigh: There shall come forth a star out of Jacob, And a sceptre shall rise out of Israel, And shall smite through the corners of Moab, And break down all the sons of tumult.

That is just for openers, there are references to Christ all over the pentituche (so yeah, Jewish claims that only certain key passages are mistranslated leading to a misidentification of the Christ are way way way off base).
 
Possible places.


  1. *]There are a lot of types of Christ in the Old Testament, especially in the books written by Moses (e.g.: Genesis). An example would be Issac when he was brought as a sacrifice. He bore the wood on his back (like Christ bore the wooden cross) and didn’t offer any resistance (just like Christ). Another one would be Joseph, son of Jacob (or Israel). He was sold by his brothers and thrown into a whole in the ground and came alive out of it (just like Jesus). In the same way Joseph’s brothers used blood to be justified before their father so are we justified before our Father with Jesus’ blood. Also, in the same way Joseph, when he became the second after the Pharaoh called his brother to be with him, but didn’t reveal who he was; so did Jesus become the second after the Father after the resurrection but didn’t reveal who He was to the disciple at first. There are a lot of other types of Christs, but I don’t have time to go trough all.
    *]Or He could have referred to this passage:

    The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him. For this is what you asked of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, “Let us not hear the voice of the LORD our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.” The LORD said to me: "What they say is good. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.

    Deuteronomy 18:15-17
    But I believe He actually meant the types of Christs that are in the books of Moses (mainly Genesis, and then Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus and Deuteronomy). Or maybe He referred to both. Or maybe He referred to neither and He was thinking and something else.
