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.

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)] <br> [http://www.bible.ca/b-canon-old-testament-quoted-by-jesus-and-apostles.htm A list of Old Testament quotes in the New Testament.

The Catholic canon from the [[Council of Trent]]'s dogmatically defined list of '''forty-seven''' Old Testament books of the Bible, "as traditionally read in the Church", implicitly omits without mention or comment First Esdras (which is not the Book of Ezra), Third Maccabees, and Psalm 151, and the appended Fourth Maccabees, included in the Greek Orthodox Bible.
