→Canon: needed commas for clarity of meaning - revised format of paragraph re Jerome's Vulgate
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)] <br> [http://www.bible.ca/b-canon-old-testament-quoted-by-jesus-and-apostles.htm Canon of the Bible.
