Yes, and Jesus quoted none of them

"you who have made all things by your Word." (Wisdom 9.1)

"In the beginning was the Word ... All things came to be through Him ... "(St. John 1.1,3)

That is an analogous statement. You might as well make your case by saying both the Apocrypha & Scriptures say God is eternal, so the scriptures are quoting the Apocrypha. Or find a verse in the Apocrypha about the frailty of man, and then say any NT verses talking about man’s frailty is a ‘quote’.

Sorry, that is not a quote. A quote USES the Apocrypha for authority. Expressing similar ideas just means Jews wrote both.
