Now you can understand the Scriptures that Jesus and the Apostles read!
Centuries before Jesus walked the earth, Ezra the Scribe and the 120 elders of the Great Assembly) divided the Torah into 54 portions so that in the course of a year (beginning and ending on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah) the entire scroll would be recited during services. This practice is still observed in synagogues around the world today.
Jesus said that these Scriptures plainly testify of Him (John 5:39). "And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself" (Luke 24:27).
Now you can better understand how the Jewish Scriptures bear witness that Jesus is the promised Messiah of Israel by study in the weekly Torah portion for yourself!
