The Jews have always had the Torah and the Prophets. The books in dispute at the Council were minor books. When Christ said “It is written” he was definitely referring to Torah and the Prophets.
“When Christ said “It is written” he was definitely referring to Torah and the Prophets.”
Are you trying to argue that the so called “Jewish Canon” was only the Torah and the Books of the Prophets and that it was Hebrew language scriptures (of the Pharisees I suppose?) which Christ and his uneducated Apostles were quoting and not the Septuagint? Considering that fully 2/3 of the OT quotes in the NT come from the Septuagint, that would be surprising. In some instances, Christ’s quotes from the OT are found ONLY in the Septuagint.
The fact of the matter is that no Christians used the “Jewish Canon” of the OT until Protestantism developed in the 16th century; plenty of Jews did, but not Christians.
Which Jews? Certainly the people who had the most say in the Temple, the Sadducees, considered only the Torah as canon.
Actually, in Lk.11:51, Christ states that the generation would be guilty of the 'blood of Abel to that of Zacharias'.
In the Jewish Canon, the last book was 2Chronicles, which is where Zacharias was killed (2Chro.24:20-21), thus, giving the entire Jewish Canon approval.
