One thought:

The scriptures available to Jesus were the Hebrew writings (Genesis - Malachi), and he quoted from them freely, since many of them applied to him as he fulfilled his roll as Messiah (Mark 14:49; John 5:39)(Romans 1:2-4). These 'Holy Writings' were in the form of scrolls.

**At Luke 4:16-21 it mentions that Jesus"... stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: 'The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed meto proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.' Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."(NIV)(Isaiah 61:1-2).

**At Matthew 21:42 Jesus said : ... "Have you never read in the Scriptures:'The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. . ."(This reference was taken from Isaiah 28:16)

**At Matthew 4:4 Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy 8:3

These same writings, entrusted to the Jews (Romans 3:2)were used by his apostles:Acts 3:22 (Deuteronomy 18:15), Acts 1:15-22(Psalm 69:25, 109:8), Hebrews 5:5 (Psalm 2:6+7)also mentioned at (Romans 1:2, Romans 15:4,2Timothy 3:15)

Another thoughtWhen Alexander the great conquered Egypt he compelled everyone to speak Greek because he was Greek. This meant that after a while the only people who spoke Hebrew were the jewish priests: the average person couldn't understand it at all. Therefore the Hebrew scriptures were translated from Hebrew into Greek in Egypt in 265 --> 275BC. This translation is known as the Septuagint, and is The Bible Jesus and the disciples would have used.

Its most likely that because the Jews and Gentiles would of ignored Jesus when he claimed to be the son of God and to be the messiah so in other words, Jesus was fed up of preaching to them. Jesus told Paul the apostle to preach unto the Gentiles and Jews because to tell them "the good news". yes, Jesus contradicted himself.
