What did he claim regarding Moses?

“He [Moses] wrote of me” ([John v, 46]).

The passage referred to is quoted in [Acts iii, 22], and may be found in [Deuteronomy xviii, 15]. It alludes to Joshua, the successor of Moses. “The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken.”

Had Jesus been omniscient he would have known that Moses did not write this; that it was not written until nearly 800 years after the time of Moses.
