What was Jesus' view on the authority of Scripture? What was Jesus' own personal view on the nature of the Scripture as far as the divine authority of the OT? Can his view on this issue be determined through his own use of it?
My own personal answer would be no different than the one found here:

Here are some excerpts.

He considered it to be divinely inspired:


  Jesus believed that the Old Testament was divinely inspired, the veritable Word of God. He said, "The Scripture cannot be broken" (John
  10:35). He referred to Scripture as "the commandment of God" (Matthew
  15:3) and as the "Word of God" (Matthew 15:6). He also indicated that
  it was indestructible: "Until Heaven and earth pass away, not the
  smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the law, until all is
  accomplished" (Matthew 5:18). Notice that he mentions even the words
  and letters!


Since He considered it to be inspired by God, He considered it authoritative.


  When dealing with the people of His day, whether it was with the disciples or religious rulers, Jesus constantly referred to the Old
  Testament: "Have you not read that which was spoken to you by God?"
  (Matthew 22:31); "Yea; and have you never read, 'Out of the mouth of
  infants and nursing babes thou hast prepared praise for thyself'?"
  (Matthew 21:16, citing Psalm 8:2); and "Have you not read what David
  did?" (Matthew 12:3). Examples could be multiplied to demonstrate that
  Jesus was conversant with the Old Testament and its content. He quoted
  from it often and He trusted it totally.
  
  When confronted by Satan, Jesus appealed to the Old Testament as a
  source of authority by stating, "It is written," (Matt. 4:4, 7, 10).
  
  Jesus appealed to Scripture when correcting false doctrine stating,
  "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of
  God," (NASB, Matt. 22:29).
