Jesus approved Torah (Old Testament) as the Word of God by quoting from it many times. The following were mentioned by Jesus about the Old Testament scriptures.
(Mat 5:17) "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
(Joh 5:39) You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me.
(Mat 22:29) Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
(Joh 13:18) "I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'HE WHO EATS BREAD WITH ME HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.'
(Luk 4:21) And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
(Luk 24:27) And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.
(Luk 24:32) And they said to one another, "Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?"
(Luk 24:45) And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
(Joh 7:38) He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

How do ethical demands of Jesus exceed those required by the law?
The main difference between the ethical demands of Jesus and the requirements of the law are that the ethical demands of Jesus go to the motive behind an action. For example, Torah says, "you shall not murder." Jesus, discussing murder, said that anyone who hates his brother is as guilty as if he had murdered him. Or, Torah forbids adultery, and Jesus notes that lust is as bad.

What does the Talmud predict about the messiah's coming?
There are several signs of the coming Messiah within the Torah and the Christian Bible. However, Jewish people do not believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And whether they believe he was at least a prophet varies from each denomination. Jews still wait for the Messiah to come, though Christians believe that they will not be able to go to Heaven without Jesus as their savior. In the Torah, some of the signs foreshadow a Messiah, but though in the bible Jesus fulfilled all of these, the Torah does not include the time of Jesus in it. Nothing in the Torah proves Jesus is the Messiah, but the signs fit the New Testament's (of the Christian bible) recollection of Jesus. With various authors, written over thousands of years (more than enough proof for any history book), the bible does in fact prove that Jesus fulfilled these prophecies from the Old Testement and the Torah. But, no, the Torah itself does not confirm any of these predictions. It merely gives something to reference to in order to find the Messiah.
