As the Lord Jesus walked the earth, presenting himself as the Messiah, he quoted the Scripture, Old Testament, to prove his claims. Here are the ones Mark reported:
1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

7:6-7 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

10:6-8 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
