Psalm 110 most quoted/alluded to?

I recall reading someone years ago (a British scholar?) who offhandedly stated that Psalm 110 was the most quoted or alluded to passage in the New Testament.

Is anyone aware of confirming or disconfirming statements? How would I prove or disprove this in Logos?

I doubt it's true, but what constitutes being "alluded to"? Did you try an internet search? I would expect that to provide a more successful ROI than Logos.

You should check out the interactive tool in Logos, the New Testament Use of the Old Testament.

Two articles from my library of interest:

"The Book of Isaiah is quoted or alluded to approximately 419 times in the New Testament, which is more than any other book (the psalms are next closest, about 414 times)."

Wegner, P. D. (1996). Isaiah, Theology Of. In Evangelical dictionary of biblical theology (electronic ed., p. 379). Grand Rapids: Baker Book House.

"The Old Testament verse most frequently quoted in the New is Psalm 110:1, “The Lord says to my Lord: ‘Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.’ ” It is cited in Matthew 22:44; Mark 12:36; Luke 20:42–43; Acts 2:34–35; Hebrews 1:13; and 10:13."

Is anyone aware of confirming or disconfirming statements?

{Label Intertext WHERE Source ~ <Ps 110> AND NOT Relationship=Echo} will show how many times Ps 110 is not Echoed i.e. where it is Quoted, Alluded to or Cited. Substitute any other passage for a comparison e.g. Is 53 has more results!

i.e. Quoted, Alluded to or Cited.

The values to use are Quotation, Allusion, Citation

Thanks, Dave

Your interaction is most valued by me. Thanks, Ben for the question. It has practical use I will use this information in my ministry. Don't ask me how as I have not worked this out as yet[:$] Dave, I took the liberty of enhancing your link I hope you don't mind. I will save this to Favorites under the heading IntertextNT.

I have a follow up question how would the search string look if we were lookin for Quotes, Allusions or Citations of the OT on the OT?

Hi Dave,

How do you find these search labels within Logos?

How do you find these search labels within Logos?

They are shown in the Help File (left of screenshot) and, as the help file shows, in the About tab of the NT Use of the OT Interactive (right of the screenshot)

bump. Don't miss my post from yesterday 7:28PM. It was in moderation for spam control. It's question has been answered elsewhere. We need Intertext for OT within OT.
