The Septuagint is the Old Testament of the New Testament, but this assertion must be qualified. The New Testament writers made use of a variety of Jewish translations, including the so-called kaige revision. And sometimes they indirectly quote the Septuagint, making use of the Testimonia, which are kind of anthologies of biblical quotations aimed to prove that Jesus’s death and resurrection had been announced in the Old Testament, that God had intended to reject the Jews and elect the nations and so on. Surprisingly, the number of Old Testament quotations in the New Testament remains problematic: they are at a minimum 160, at most 4,000. Even in the best indices, there is a variation in the ratio of one to two, between 320 and 600. Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Paul’s Epistles, Hebrews, Catholic Epistles, and Revelation are reviewed, characterized, and three general conclusions were drawn. First, different writers in the New Testament use different forms of the same Old Testament quotation. Second, whilst some of New Testament variants derive from known textual forms in the Septuagint manuscripts, some are unknown. Third, some quotations are aligned to the Hebrew text or to Theodotion. |
