In which narratives did the apostles appeal to the Old Testament?

The apostles frequently appealed to the Old Testament in the Gospels and Acts to demonstrate how the events of Jesus' life and ministry fulfilled Old Testament prophecies and teachings. These narratives often highlight the connections between Jesus’ actions and statements and the writings of the Old Testament, particularly in relation to messianic prophecies.

For example, in the Gospels, references to prophecies concerning the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus are made to show that He is the Messiah foretold in the scriptures. In Acts, the apostles, particularly Peter and Paul, use Old Testament scripture during their sermons and testimonies to establish the legitimacy of their messages and to call others to faith in Jesus.

Other choices, like Psalms and Proverbs, while part of the Old Testament, are more specific books rather than encompassing narratives that illustrate the apostles' use of these scriptures in their teachings. Similarly, the Epistles and Revelation contain teachings from the apostles but are largely reflective and doctrinal rather than primarily focused on connecting to Old Testament narratives. The choice referring to Prophets and Kings lacks the comprehensive context of the apostles' utilization of the entire narrative framework found in the Gospels and Acts.
