(1) he expressly declared that He would leave "many things" unrevealed (John 16:12).
(2) He promised that this revelation should be completed ("all things") after the Spirit should come, and that such additional revelation should include new prophecies (John 16:12).
(3) He chose certain persons to receive such additional revelations, and to be His witnesses to them Matt 28:19; John 15:27; John 16:13; Acts 1:8; Acts 9:15–17.
(4) he gave to their words when speaking for Him in the Spirit precisely the same authority as His own Matt 10:14; Matt 10:15; Luke 10:16; John 13:20; John 17:20 see e.g. 1 Cor 14:37 and "Inspiration,"; Ex 4:15; Rev 22:19.
