John 16:12

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:)).

(3) He chose certain persons to receive such additional revelations, and to be His witnesses to them Matthew 28:19; John 15:27; 16:13; Acts 1:8; Acts 9:15-17.

(4) he gave to their words when speaking for Him in the Spirit precisely the same authority as His own Matthew 10:14,15; Luke 10:16; John 13:20; 17:20 see e.g. 1 Corinthians 14:37 and "Inspiration," ; Exodus 4:15; Revelation 22:19.
