Comparing NT and LXX
Is there still no way to easily compare a text from the Greek New Testament and the LXX? For example, I'm looking at Matthew 3:3 and would like to compare the quote of Isaiah 40:3 to the text of the LXX. I can't find a way to have both the NA28 (or whatever NT Greek text) in parallel with Logos LXX (or whatever flavor of LXX text). I've worked with both Jones Old Testament Quotations and Allusions and the New Testament Use of the Old Testament Interractive. This seems like such a basic thing, I can't believe that it's not easy to do.
I know I can manually open books and get what I want, but I would think that with two tools devoted to this type of study, it shoud be part of one of those tools. Please tell me I've overlooked something obvious.
Thanks.

Hi Clint.
I did the following:
- Open NT use of OT Interactive
- Click "Matthew" in the "Book (NT)" facet list
- Click "Isaiah" in the "Book (Source)" facet list
- Click "Original Language" in the interactive tool bar.
Then I scrolled down to Matt 3:3. As you hover words, corresponding words will also be displayed (for most items; some allusions and most echoes may not have enough exactly corresponding words to support this action).

Thanks Rick,
That was what I was looking for! Much better.

I'm sure I'm getting greedy now, but there is no way to get Isa 40:3, Matthew 3:3 and Luke 3:4 all in parallel using the interactive tool?

No, but you can duplicate the panel and replace Mt with Lk. I think that's the best you can do for now. Perhaps FL can expand the capability of this interactive to do what your asking. I would vote for it.
Meanwhile, Jesus kept on growing wiser and more mature, and in favor with God and his fellow man.
