That is something that the Judaizers (and indeed the children of the Reformation) have seemingly never understood. And any attempt to include the Septuagint (the OT of Jesus and the Apostles) which was written in Greek falls upon either deaf ears or hostile ones.
The Greeks were the receptors of the NT, just as the Jews were the receptors of the OT. Does that not seem as if God switched horses in mid stream?
