[Verginius Rufus]

Jesus had Scripture--the Law and the Prophets. See Luke 4.16-21 where he reads from the prophet Isaiah in the synagogue at Nazareth, and Luke 24.27, where he interprets the passages in Moses and all the prophets about himself to the disciples on the road to Emmaus.

Of course it was not until decades later that some of the Christian message began to be put down in writing by St. Paul and by the authors of the gospels.

You’re right about the Old Testament. The poster was talking about the New Testament — at least that’s how I took it.
