Bruce, I think saying that Jesus and the apostles "happened to be correct" could give the wrong idea. It wasn't that Jesus thought of Himself as everyone else did and just got it right by good luck. On the contrary, He knew that the OT Scriptures were fulfilled in Him, and as His conflicts with the Pharisees showed, this was a serious claim to make, not a common run-of-the-mill statement.
