A:No, Jesus is never mention in the Old Testament, either directly by name or indirectly in any way that would unambiguously identify him. However, Christianity arose in the Jewish milieu and strenuous efforts have been made since earliest times to identify Jesus with the Old Testament and thereby demonstrate that he fulfilled a divine mission.

The most well known such reference is in Matthew's Gospel, referring to Isaiah 7:14 as evidence that the virginity of Mary had been prophesied. Isaiah 7:14 supposedly said that a virgin would bear a child but, in the original Hebrew, actually says, "the young woman," and the young woman in question did have a child a few verses later in Isaiah. The author of Matthew relied on a mistranslation in the Septuagint, a flawed early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, to portray this passage as prophesying the birth of Jesus.
