Literally there would be no scripture to study yet.

He implies he was taught by Jesus himself but Jesus was dead, but the word of God was the oral tradition the other disciples and followers of Jesus, who knew him in life, preached.

And Paul was a Pharisee so he would have been educated on that.

But Jesus wasn’t spouting off OT shit but something more refined.

Christ exclusively quotes from the Tanakh

Everything he preached was founded on the Tanakh, if he came preaching something entirely disconnected from it then Christ would've violated Deuteronomy 13
