The NT often refers back to the scriptures in the OT tying them both together as

ONE INSPIRED BOOK of knowledge written through men as they were inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Moses wrote about Jesus in the Book of the Law, the Torah; the Pentateuch

2 Peter 1:20-21 – The Holy Spirit inspired the scriptures

20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation.

21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. NIV

John 5:46-47 – Jesus said the Torah taught about Him

46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.

47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?" NIV

John 14:6 – I am THE WAY, the truth and the life

6 "I am THE WAY and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”. NIV

Acts 24:14 – I worship the God of “THE WAY”

14 I admit that I worship the God of our fathers as a follower of THE WAY, which they call a sect. I believe everything that agrees with the Law and that is written in the Prophets, NIV
