The "New Covenant" does not start with the New Testament. It starts with Acts 2. It starts with the out pouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of pentacost. "
which jesus never predicted or said would happen upon his death so we rely on the testimony of luke for that right but jesus himself never spoke of this .
Even if you want to ignore what Luke wrote, and Paul, and Peter, you still have what John said Jesus said in John 14:15-31
John 7: 37-39
Jesus not only acknoweledged the Holy Spirit all accounts of the Gospel record He was also empowered by Him on the day of His Baptism.
