Are there Old Testaments quotes that were plagiarized by the New Testaments Authors?

Answer 1

Yes and no - the New Testament authors (and even Jesus Himself) used quotations from the Old Testament. However, 'plagiarized' isn't exactly a good word to describe it because it was not perceived as negative at the time. Particularly when writing or speaking to audiences who would be familiar with the writings that we now call the Old Testament, people would quote parts of it with the assumption that people would recognize the stories or passages they were talking about. Here are some examples of quotations found in the New Testament:

Several in the Gospel of Matthew, such as 1:23 (from Isaiah 7:14) and 2:6 (from Micah 5:2)

Several from Jesus such as in Luke 7:27 (from Malachi 3:1, talking about John the Baptist) and in Luke 8:10 (from Isaiah 6:9, talking about parables and understanding)

Some from Paul such as 2 Corinthians 6:2 (from Isaiah 49:8 about God's aid)

Many of these quotations are started with something like "It is written" to show that they are a quotation of Scripture, but no specific mention of the book quoted is given. Also to the above, these assertions are often made by anti-Biblical and anti-God scholars , usually atheist, which are then accepted as proven by Christians and Christian authorities. There are just as many New Testament quotes that were plagiarized by Old Testament authors as there were the other way around.

2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
