The Gospels in the Second Century

CHAPTER IV
47/114

From the Psalms sixteen exactly, including nine (or ten) whole Psalms, two with slight and three with decided variation.

From Isaiah twenty-five exactly, twelve slightly variant, and sixteen decidedly.

From the other Major Prophets Justin has only three exact quotations, four slightly divergent, and eleven diverging more widely.

From the Minor Prophets and other books he has two exact quotations, seven in which the variation is slight, and thirteen in which it is marked.

Of the distinctly free quotations in the Pentateuch (eleven in all), three may be thought to have a Messianic character (the burning bush, the brazen serpent, the curse of the cross), but in none of these does the variation appear to be due to this.
