The Scriptures Jesus Quoted, and How He Used Them

Jesus lived in the Scriptures. He answered the tempter with Deuteronomy, silenced His critics with the Psalms, and prayed the Psalms from the cross. Each page below takes one Old Testament text He quoted, sets it in its own place first, then shows how and when He used it, and what it reveals about who He is and how He read the Bible.
