I get a lot of requests for a list of the references the New Testament makes to the deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament. Unfortunately, giving a list is not such a simple affair since it is not always obvious whether something is a genuine reference.
Hebrews 11:35 is an indisputable reference to 2 Maccabees 7, but many are not so clear as there may be only a single phrase that echoes one in a deuterocanonical book (and this may not be obvious in the translation, but only the original languages).
This is the same with New Testament references to the protocanonical books of the Old Testament. How many New Testament references there are to the Old Testament depends in large measure on what you are going to count as a reference.
As a result, many scholarly works simply give an enormous catalogue of all proposed references and leave it to the individual interpreter to decide whether a given reference is actual or not.
I will follow the same procedure until I have time to sit down with the following references, sort through them, and decide which I can prove to be references are to deutercanonical books. If you find any you think are indisputable, email me, as it will help with the project of producing a shorter list of indisputable references.
The following (huge) list is taken from pp. 800-804 of the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament, 27th edition (Novum Testamentum: Graece et Latine, published by Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft).

What Old Testament are you coming from?
I pick out a couple of his “references” at random and there’s no connection whatsoever. Who is this guy?
I took the first reference and found the connection: Matthew 4:4 Wisdom 16:26 but others may not be so obvious as the the author states:
"Hebrews 11:35 is an indisputable reference to 2 Maccabees 7, but many are not so clear as there may be only a single phrase that echoes one in a deuterocanonical book (and this may not be obvious in the translation, but only the original languages).
This is the same with New Testament references to the protocanonical books of the Old Testament. How many New Testament references there are to the Old Testament depends in large measure on what you are going to count as a reference.
As a result, many scholarly works simply give an enormous catalogue of all proposed references and leave it to the individual interpreter to decide whether a given reference is actual or not.
yes, folks seem to be looking for word for word matches...that isnt how it always works, deuters or protos...
The reference given for this info is a good one. You might also include the “Book of Enoch” directly referenced in Jude. Perhaps many Freepers are not aware of the sources which were available to the Old Testament and New Testament writers.
Could we have DIRECT references with the citation “scripture says”?
The book of Enoch is not even Deuterocanonical .
Amazing list!

The reason Luther decided to truncate the Old Testament was not because he looked for the apostolic authority but because the Deuterocanon especially makes mincemeat of his fake theology.
Saint Paul also quoted Pagan Greek poets....but we don’t count them as canonical. Allusions to Jewish popular literature of the day (what the Apocrypha basically is...) does not make those books holy or authoritative scripture.
Protestants just follow the Jewish canon, and Roman Catholics innovated on that adding books (some of which are non-sense, like the Tobit legend, or Bell and the Dragon....).
Most Roman Catholic errors are actually innovations—developed many hundreds of years after the Apostles.
It is a fact, that the Jews don’t-—and haven’t for nearly 2000 years, accepted the Apocrypha—books by Jewish writers before Christ—as inspired Canon. Protestants just accept the Old Testament as the Jews wrote it, and passed it on to us....
Roman Catholics though, don’t trust the Jews (just look at the many centuries of antisemitism in Roman Catholic Europe...), therefore they don’t accept the Jewish Canon of the Old Testament.
To claim Protestants dreamed up the rejection of the Apocrypha is all too typical Roman Catholic apologist lying.
Typical, willful ignorance on your part.
Luther simply followed the Jewish canon of the Old Testament as all Jews have known it—SINCE THE DAYS OF THE APOSTLES.
One would think that a religion would accept the list of holy books passed onto it by its mother religion—which is exactly what Protestants did—it is Rome that has ADDED junk BOOKS TO THE JEWISH CANON.
Judaism does not, and has never, accepted the Apocrypha—books written long before Jesus—as Holy Scripture. Why did Rome add them in?
The Jewish canon excluded the Deuterocanonicals at the Council of Jamnia (c.70-90 AD) (wiki), just about the time they started expelling Christians from their midst.
Your position, and Luther's, is that of deniers of Christ. Characteristically, you called Holy Scripture "junk".
