Is there a resource that shows all the O.T. quotes of Jesus in the New Testament?  Thanks in advance.

    Check your resources of type Bible Harmony (go to Library, click column Type) e.g.

    • Old Testament Quotations and Allusions in the New Testament
    • Old Testament Quotes in the New Testament

    Thank you Chris and Dave. I appreciate your suggestions.

    One additional suggestion:

    You can create a passage list of all the words of Christ. To do this do the following:

    • Open a search window and select "Bible"
    • Select you favorite bible that is tagged to search for the "Words of Christ"
    • Type * in the search pane to initiate a wild card search of all the words of Christ (keep in mind that the wild card search function in L4 is very slow and it may take a while to return the results. On my machine it took a little over 700 seconds; so almost 12 minutes)
    • Then create a passage list from those results

    Once this passage list is created, you can create a passage list of all the OT quotes in the gospels from a resource like "Old Testament Quotes in the New Testament"

    • To create this list simply open the resource and select everything from Matthew - John with your cursor.
    • Then open a new passage list and click add
    • Choose add from selected text
    • L4 will add all of the OT passages that are quoted combined with all of the NT passages where they are quoted

    Once this is done select merge toward the top of the passage list pane

    • Select the Words of Christ list you generated above and choose Intersection

    The result will be a passage list that shows you all of the OT passages that were quoted by Christ.

    Hmm. I did this with the ESV and "Old Testament Quotes from the New Testament" and I got only 4 verses - John 6:45, John 10:34, John 13:18, John 15:25.

    Words of Christ in all Passages from ESV yielded 40,413 results in 2,042 verses

    2.042 Passages in resulting Passage list

    Matt - John from OT Quotes in the NT yielded 63 passages in that Passage List

    Intersection of the 63 and 2,042 passages yields 4 passages.

    Is that right? I would think there were more than 4 references to OT in Jesus words in the Gospel than that, although I may be more used to the references to the OT in the rest of the NT.

    Matt - John from OT Quotes in the NT yielded 63 passages in that Passage List

    Several hundred in mine... Did you select only John? Think of Matthew - I'd suspect a large number to come from the Sermon on the Mount.

    I am not sure why you received the results you described, but I did this in the NASB95 and as you can see in the screen shot, my list shows Christ quoted the OT in 82 passages from Matt-John

    I also got 82 in the ESV, using the same method the other way around (I created a passage list from the OT quotes in the NT resource, then searched the passage list using the * and Words of Christ field).

    The OT quotes in the NT resource isn't perfect, though - there's at least a couple of verses in there that shouldn't be (they're allusions, not quotes). We may be better creating a verse list from the NA27 which has an OT Quotation field. If you do a morph search for @V OR @N in the NA27 it's pretty quick (much quicker than *, and probably quicker than selecting all the text in the OT Quotes resource) and you can save the result as a passage list.

    Using an intersection of the OT quotes in the NA27 and the Words of Christ in the NASB95 it returns 104 passages

    Here is a list of the differences between the NA27 results and the NASB95 results

    My Passage List intersection has 104 verses.

    Thanks everyone. My intuition said this was inccorect, there were way many more references.  When I am back at my Logos I'll check it over compared to your examples and see what I messed up.

    Thanks again!

    Just for the record: it's 82 as well in NIV84 - and I know now my box takes 40 minutes to select * from Words of Christ.

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    The apparently large discrepancy is because this method creates more 'passages' as it always uses single verses rather than verse ranges.

    Quoting one Old Testament passage could span verses; comparing 104 verses with 82 quotes, suspect 22 (or fewer) quotes span more than one verse.
