He made  references to the Old Testament to prove that Jesus of  Nazareth was the Messiah. He quoted Prophet Joel 2:28 to  show that they were not under the influence of the Holy Spirit . He cited the miracles, the crucifixion and death of Jesus as  proofs of His Messiahship. He said God raised Him from the  dead as David had prophesied in Psalm 16:10 :         “ For thou wilt not abandon my soul to Hades, nor let thy  Holy One see corruption.” Pe
