An Allegory of the Old and New Testaments - detail of the New Testament (Hans Holbein the Younger, 1530, National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh)
Lc 24:44-48

He said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled." Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures. And he said to them, "Thus it is written that the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.
