"The NT itself is counted to have 275 quotes from the Old."Its actually over 450 when you include the entire Old Testament.
Peace with you

Thanks for those numbers. The question was how many quotes, or times is Jesus recorded in His own words.
I couldn’t find a comprehensive list, but boatbum seems correct in her count of about 26 times Jesus says “it is written” meaning in Scripture.

I was referring to quotes, not allusions, and 450 seems too high for the former, while allusions are said to be 600 or higher. But I have only seen numbers, and would be interested in seeing the whole list of quotes. I myself have counted approx. 300 clear references to the O.T.
