Because eternal life comes from and through Jesus ([[Joh 14:6]], [[Joh 17:3]]), one may be tempted to say that know Jesus, and therefor do not need to read or understand the Bible. But many who '''believed they knew Jesus''' will be turned away. ([[Mt 7:23]])
Among those who studied the scriptures diligently were the scribes and Pharisees. Using the methods of human hermeneutics they missed the point of the scriptures::. ([[Joh 5:39]] Search } He rebuked the most educated religious scholars for a single error of doctrine which revealed that they did not know the scriptures; for nor the power of God. ([[Mt 22:29]], [[Mr 12:24]]) They mistakenly believed that there was marriage in them ye think ye have eternal lifeheaven. ([[Mt 22:30]], [[Mr 12: and they are they which testify 25]]) One who believes that the marriage of methe Lamb is after the resurrection or in heaven ([[Re 19:7]], [[Re 19:9]]) may wish to learn to read the scriptures properly.
After following Jesus for three years, even the disciples did not understand the scriptures. ([[Lu 24:27]], [[Lu 24:32]], but required that he reteach it to them after the resurrection ([[Lu 24:45]]).
As the apostles began to preach, they taught the scriptures and how to interpret them correctly, reasoning with their listeners to convince them that Jesus was the promised Messiah. ([[Ac 17:2]], [[Ac 18:24]], [[Ac 18:28]])
They did not teach by means of their own ability, nor by their own interpretation, but even as the prophets of old were moved by God to prophesy ([[2Pe 1:20]], [[2Pe 1:21]]), the apostles were moved by God to interpret scripture correctly. ([[2Pe 1:19]]) They even had the Holy Ghost to remind them of what they had learned ([[Joh 14:26]]), and to help them formulate their sermons([[Lu 12:12]]).
Do not stop there with your reasoning! The apostles did not retain an exclusive rights to the Holy Ghost. Paul reminded us that God is able to establish us in the "preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began". ([[Ro 16:25]])
Lu 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all Jesus taught the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.Lu 24apostles who were commanded to teach others ([[Mt 28:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, 20]]) and while he opened to us the scriptures?Lu 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, did. ([[Ac 175:2 And Paul25]], as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,[[Ac 18:24 ¶ And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man11]], [and] mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.Ac 18[2Ti 2:28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, [and that2] publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.Ro 16:25 ¶ Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,Ro 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:2Pe 1:19 ¶ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.)
