The Torah, the Writings, and the Prophets. Everything given through the prophets of the older testament was given by the Word of God.
-"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God...And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us."
-"If you have seen me, you have seen my Father."
-"I and my Father are one."
-"Before Moses and Abraham were, I am."
God is internally consistent. He will not contradict himself (although it may appear so temporarily to men with faulty knowledge), and He never changes His standards of behavior. Therefore, if Jesus taught what God taught ("He that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him."), then all of the Torah, Writings, and Prophets are Jesus' teachings.

They don't. There are some places in Isaiah where it sounds like the prophet is foretelling something like Jesus.
Actually, the Old Testament at large is so different from the New Testament, that it seems the two were overseen by two totally disparate gods. The first God was one of stern disgust and admonishment, even curses. No one ever said in the Old Testament "God is love."
Now religious people say it, and seem to have completely ignored God's original nature.
Jesus' teachings would not have made much sense in the Old Testament, which is why his teachings were rejected by the established religion of the time -- Old Testament Judaism.

The Books in the Old Testament were written BEFORE the time of Jesus, therefore His teachings are not evident there. What they contain are the prophecies of the Prophets, through the generations, of the coming or arrival of the Messiah and Saviour among them.
The Books [Gospels and Epistles] in the New Testament were about the Nativity and the public Ministry and teachings of Jesus when He walked the Earth.
Peace be with you.

The only part about Jesus you may find in the Old Testament is the prophecy of a Messiah coming. You see Jesus was only in the New Testament. The Old Testament is the teachings of Creation, Adam and Eve, Abraham, Noah and the Flood when he built the Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah... it was before God Came down as the Holy Spirit and impregnated Mary, it was before Jesus' time.

Basically all the 10 commandments were teachings of Jesus. He just went into more detail and explained the measures of the Law given to Moses. But if your talking about the prophecies about Jesus, they are in the Book of Isiah.

Jesus often quoted what we call the Old Testament when he taught.. It was the only scripture that existed for Jews at that time. He then would expand or on his own claimed authority change some of the teachings to the new teachings of what we now call Christianity.. Teaching new things that differ from the established religion can get you killed.

Old testament is before jesus. That's the whole point of the old and new testaments.

He summerized 613 laws down to two.When Jesus was asked to name the greatest commandment, He said; "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matthew 22:37). Jesus clearly said the most important thing we can do in this life is to love God with absolutely every part of our being. But He immediately added; "the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39).
By reviewing the following website you will see how Jesus excelled at confounding the Jewish Rabbis of His day in reducing the 10 commandment down to two.

Jesus is in preincarnations in some ANGEL OF THE LORD encounters.
Abraham and visitors, Joshua, Gideon.
Prophecies about him are in every book starting in Gen.1 through to Malachi. So that makes it a little to big to go in depth.
jesus quoted from Isaiah often
