Beginning with Moses and all the Prophets. 

In Chapter 3 of Galatians, St. Paul teaches an understanding of Christ that begins with the Pentateuch (the Books of Moses), via the story of Abraham, and goes ⅔ the way through the last scroll of the Latter Prophets, via Habakkuk. He literally “begins with Moses and all the Prophets” to explain all the things in Scripture concerning Jesus Christ. At the conclusion of the Gospel of Luke (24:26), Jesus does precisely the same for his disciples. 

Notes:
Luke 24:25-26, 35, 39, 44-47, 52
Galatians 2:16; 3:11
