The New Testament quotations

Henry Gough

Charles H. Welch wrote:

The reader of The Berean Expositor who has been acquainted with its method of exposition for any length of time, will be aware that the testimony of the Septuagint, especially for the light that is sheds upon the meaning of N.T. words, is held in high esteem. In our Index of Volumes I-XX of The Berean Expositor , we devoted two pages to a special Index of references to the Septuagint Version of the O.T.

We would mention The New Testament Quotations, by Henry Gough, because he gives the original Hebrews, the corresponding Septuagint Greek, and the N.T. quotations, together with English translations that enable the reader to compare and check every quotation made from the LXX in the N.T.

"Large as this collection is, it must not for a moment be supposed that it comprehends all the verbal similarities to the Old Testament, and especially to the Septuagint version of it."

"Had not such a translations (i.e. the LXX) been published and received a proper time before our Saviour's advent, the composition of the New Testament in Greek would, humanly speaking, have been impossible."

Henry Gough's book was published in 1855, and in his preface he pays a tribute to the learned and valuable works of the Rev. E. W. Grinfield
