But Peter's sword move was before the passage under review. So was the one about the twelve not understanding the mission, your evidence is for a lack of a better term, irrelevant context.
What was taught to me was that on the road to Damascus Yeshua expounded all of the scriptures concerning the mission from the Law, the Writings and the Prophets. In other words from Genesis to Malachai.
It is very possible to share the Gospel message using only the Old Testament and this is what is meant by my point in this as the answer to your challenge;
And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the
law of Moses,
and the prophets,
and the psalms,
concerning
me.
Then opened he
their mind,
that they might understand the scriptures;
and he said unto them,
Thus it is written, (In the Law Prophets and Psalms!) that the Christ should suffer, (Isaiah) and rise again from the dead (Zachariah) the third day; and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, (Moses) beginning from Jerusalem.
Ye are witnesses of these things. (The death burial and resurrection for the remission of sins spoken of in the Old Teatament)
And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high. (Power on high = Holy Spirit, Paul not included in this promise)
And he led them out until they were over against Bethany: and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven. And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with
great joy: (because of their redemption)
(*Luke *24:*44-52 ASV)
