Well, there certainly is an attempt to show the NT corresponding to prophesies (lineage to David is only one example).
We have discussed in other responses the problems with many or most of them, so no sense repeating it.
Now, as I have stated before, if one was to look at the bible as a metaphorical and allegorical spiritual guidance source, it becomes much more relevant then a literal one.
In fact, if one reads John, and certainly Paul, it is clear their discussions are allegorical and not historical.
The curious thing is that Paul was the first written NT chapters, and the synoptics don't relate to John.
