Which Old Testament books are quoted most in the New Testament?

Answer 1

A:A New Testament favourite is the Old Testament Book of Isaiah. Matthew's Gospel refers to Isaiah 7:14 as evidence that the virginity of Mary had been prophesied. However, this is not a direct reference to the Hebrew Book of Isaiah but to the book that forms part of the Septuagint, a flawed early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures. Isaiah 7:14 supposedly said that a virgin would bear a child but the original Hebrew book actually says, "the young woman," and the young woman in question did have a child a few verses later in Isaiah. The author of Matthew relied on this mistranslation in the Septuagint to portray this passage as prophesying the birth of Jesus. The Book of Isaiah also contains several passages with a 'servant' theme, known as the Servant Songs, and these are quoted in the New Testament as possible references to Jesus.

Other books quoted on the New Testament include Genesis, Exodus and Malachi.
