The large majority of Old Testament references in the [[New Testament]] are taken from the [[Koine Greek]] [[Septuagint]] (LXX), editions of which include the deuterocanonical books, as well as apocrypha – both of which are called collectively {{transliteration|grc|anagignoskomena}} ("readable, worthy of reading").<ref>{{Cite web|last=Vassiliadis|first=Petros|title=Inspiration, Canon and Authority of Scripture: An Orthodox Hermeneutical Perspective |url=http://users.auth.gr/~pv/inspiration.htm|access-date=2020-06-20|website=users.auth.gr}}</ref>{{Unreliable source?|date=March 2018}} No two Septuagint codices contain the same apocrypha.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Ellis|first1=E.

Greek Psalm manuscripts from the fifth century contain three New Testament "psalms": the [[Magnificat]], the [[Benedictus (Song of Zechariah)|Benedictus]], the [[Nunc dimittis]] from Luke's birth narrative, and the conclusion of the hymn that begins with the "Gloria in Excelsis".<ref>{{cite book|last1=Hengel|first1=Martin|title=The Septuagint as Christian Scripture|date=2004|publisher=Baker|pages=58–59|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=LUmGZ0NiweAC&q=wishes+to+be+a+Christian+book|isbn=978-0567082879}}</ref> [[Roger T.

In the New Testament, Hebrews 11:35 is understood by some as referring to an event that was recorded in one of the deuterocanonical books, [[2 Maccabees]].<ref name="Akin">{{citation |url=https://www.ewtn.com/library/ANSWERS/DEUTEROS.HTM |title=Defending the Deuterocanonicals |author=James Akin |author-link=Jimmy Akin |publisher=[[EWTN]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190108215933/https://www.ewtn.com/library/ANSWERS/DEUTEROS.HTM |archive-date=8 January 2019 }}</ref> For instance, the author of Hebrews references oral{{Citation needed|date=March 2016}} tradition which spoke of an Old Testament prophet who was sawn in half in Hebrews 11:37, two verses after the 2nd Maccabees reference.
