QUOTATIONS FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.

      The close connection between the Old and New Testament is shown by the number of times the Old Testament is quoted in the New Testament. Bagster's Bible gives 889 quotations and allusions. George F. Pentecost gives the number at 885, a few of the allusions given by Bagster's Bible being disputed. Every book of the Old Testament is quoted except Obadiah, Nahum, Zephaniah, and Esther. There is only one quotation from the Song of Solomon. According to Dr. Pentecost the number of the Old Testament quotations and allusions in each New Testament book is as follows:

The Gospel of Matthew 96 Times 1 Timothy 6 Times
The Gospel of Mark 34 Times 2 Timothy 2 Times
The Gospel of Luke 58 Times Titus 0 Times
The Gospel of John 40 Times Philemon 0 Times
Acts of the Apostles 57 Times Hebrews 86 Times
Romans 74 Times James 16 Times
1 Corinthians 41 Times 1 Peter 20 Times

Philippians 3 Times 3 John 0 Times
