The Greek [[Orthodox Church]] firmly maintains that the Septuagint was the Bible of Jesus and the Apostles and the Bible of the early first century Christian church through A.D. 50. It is said that 300 of 350 quotations in the New Testament are from the Greek Old Testament.<ref>[http://www.kalvesmaki.com/LXX/NTChart.htm Table of Old Testament quotes in the New Testament, in English translation, Joel Kalvesmaki 2013 (kalvesmaki.com)] <br> [http://www.bible.ca/manuscripts/List-of-300-Old-Testament-passage-quotes-in-New-Testament-Septuagint-Codex-Vaticanus-LXX-Masoretic-MT-Jewish-Tanakh-Bible.htm List of 300 Septuagint Old Testament quotations in the New Testament, by Steve Rudd 2017 (bible.ca)] <br> [[Septuagint#Table of LXX quotes and allusions in the New Testament|Table of LXX quotes and allusions in the New Testament]]</ref> The writings of the New Testament were originally in Greek, and they were copied and collected and finally completed as the body of Christian scriptures, and then joined to the Greek Old Testament as the Greek Bible—

Bible scholars have pointed out that Jesus and the apostles never quoted from the Old Testament books of Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon. Others add to the list Judges, Ruth, Lamentations, Obadiah, Jonah, and Zephaniah. This does not mean these books are not inspired. Jonah is certainly mentioned but the book bearing his name is not directly quoted. Jesus himself quoted 24 different Old Testament books.<ref>[https://www.knowableword.com/2013/03/27/11-old-testament-books-never-quoted-in-the-new-testament/ 10 Old Testament Books Never Quoted in the New Testament, by Peter Krol (knowableword.com)]</ref>
