But neither Sarah nor Anna is described as kecharitomene in the Septuagint, a translation by Jewish scholars of the Hebrew Scriptures for Greek-speaking Jews in Egypt. Nor does Luke use it to describe Elizabeth. Kecharitomene in this usage is reserved for Mary of Nazareth.

Bunk...There is no credible evidence that the Septuagint was written before 350 A.D...

And what were Jews doing in Egypt in 250 B.C...They were told to get out of Egypt long before that and get back to Israel...

Being in Egypt, they were out of the will of God...

The manuscripts which came out of Antioch, (The Majority Texts) where the Apostles were based, and where follower of Jesus were first called Christians, are the accurate texts...

Perhaps you should read this...

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/13722a.htm

http://www.ewtn.com/library/SCRIPTUR/CEHEBBIB.TXT

I’m sure Kosta50 can shed light on this?

Time for mass
I wish you a blessed day!

All the complete copies of the NT are from the 4th century unless you count shreds of parchemtn and papyrus, and even they are 2nd and third century copies of copies. By this logic we can doubt the entire NT.

Since the Apostles overwhelmingly quote from the Septuagint, by your theory the Septuagint was written to "fit" the New Testament rather than the other way around! If the Septuagint did not exit before the 4th century AD, then the Apostles in the NT are actually misquoting the Old Testament!
