Do any of you have a resource/book (or list of them) that show from what sources each of Jesus' quotations and allusions to the OT came? (I.e., LXX, Targums, MT, etc.)
My brain is fried on that one ... like when you can't quite remember. That was one reason I wanted Philo of Biblos in Logos ... close allusions.
There should be a Logos dataset accessible for this information. I would love to find out because that is something I wonder about in my studies. Hopefully someone has a book or resource that is helpful. This is very near to me in my work in New Testament Studies. Until then we can use my former professor's work at Liberty University. https://digitalcommons.liberty.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1060&context=second_person
I've not seen a list including the Targums but there are many LXX/Hebrew lists e.g. List of 300 Old Testament quotes in New Testament (bible.ca)
The Tool NT use of the OT can be filter by speaker that may be helpful
Sorry, misread your post. I think you would need a resource like Commentary on the NT use of the OT by Beale, but would need to review each verse.
Ok, now I remember: 'Jesus in Context: Background Readings for Gospel Study' (quite good)
It bounces across MT, DSS, targums, Josephus, Philo, apocrypha, talmud, etc
Jesus and Scripture by Moyise though it may not be a critical source for the quotations of Jesus it is relatively current, compact and affordable.

Thanks everyone these are all great books and resources. I own Beale's commentary of NT use of OT. I do not think it is exactly what the OP wanted though. Jesus and Scripture might be of help. I have never heard of DMB's suggestion but it looks good. I will try to acquire it soon.
LOL...and congrats on reaching a significant round number!
I've not seen a list including the Targums
Unfortunately, this is a significant issue. Is there not a list of Targum quotes because neither Jesus nor the NT authors ever quoted from them (very unlikely, esp. John, whose entire Logos theology is Targum-ish), or because the Targums are obscure and simply haven't been studied/published yet?
That's part of what I'm trying to answer.
Clearly the LXX is in play (as your link shows...lots of info). The MT is a later item, of course, but existed in some format as early as the time of Christ because there are matching quotes as well as DSS manuscripts that match the MT.
I'd simply like a list of Jesus' quotes and which tradition they match best as I'm curious about the proper (for us) use of allusion and paraphrase when quoting scripture. The textual absolutists insist on word-for-word quotation (in English, LOL) and I think they are mistaken, but I need to be able to prove it and cite my sources. If Jesus did it (alluded/paraphrased), that's proof enough, but finding citable works has not been easy.
Jesus and Scripture by Moyise
Looks interesting...I'd sure like to see what's in it before I put cash on the barrelhead. Thanks for the suggestion.
Jesus in Context: Background Readings for Gospel Study
I'll look for this as well. Glad the grey matter kicked in. [:D]
Not a list, but a discussion on Matt 4:6 from Beale's commentary:
C. Use in Jewish Sources. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan on Deuteronomy here reads, “Not by bread alone does man live but by everything that is created by the Memra of the Lord does man live.” (All translations of this Targum are from Clarke 1998.) Targum Neofiti and Targum Onqelos speak of everything that comes from the mouth of the decree of the Memra. Since it is words that often come out of people’s mouths, the references to the personified Memra (Aram. for “word”) and its decree prove understandable. The rest of the extant references to this text, apart from later rabbinic sources, all come in Philo. In Alleg. Interp. 3.174 God’s stripping his people of all their pleasantries was actually a sign of being propitious to them. Allegorical Interpretation 3.175 contrasts the spiritual hunger that proceeds from virtue with that which comes from vice, while 3.176 stresses that the perfect person must be nourished by all of God’s word. On the Preliminary Studies 170–174 contains a more elaborate exposition, noting that God brings only good things on his people, so that his affliction instructs and corrects and is balanced by his gracious provision of manna. And in Spec. Laws 2.199 Philo encourages his readers to take heart from the fact that God is always able to nourish and preserve his people as he did the Israelites in the wilderness.
I hope you find your list, but there is often more involved than listing a source in identifying the source.
a discussion on Matt 4:6 from Beale's commentary:
I have these resources and have skimmed, but not dug there. I'll take a closer look. Even a manual retrieval would be beneficial as well as a nice bit of study.
Thanks for the example discussion, John.

Doc, I'm not at my computer so I can't access my library now. When I get home I'll post the TOC. However, recall that Logos has a liberal return policy. If you don't like what you see within 30 days you can return it no questions asked.
I've posted the ToC below
Thanks, all!
Thanks everyone this is very helpful.
