Comparing Various Jewish Writings and the New Testament

A collation of texts for comparative reading

These notes were shared with me after a discussion with Dr Simon Burke who compiled this list in full based on his own extensive reading. My contribution is nil; only that I broadcast it as an open-source resource with his permission.

The list below gives parallels or strong contrasts between various Jewish writings and the New Testament which—at least appear—not to be explained simply by sharing influence from the Old Testament. These parallels do not necessarily imply direct influence or any influence from the Jewish texts to the New Testament but minimally illustrate concepts shared between the New Testament and these Jewish writings. This does not necessarily entail influence, or even agreement, but in the least an illustration of a common milieu.

Through these parallels, perhaps the New Testament can better still be understood to those with such resources.

Where a “*” is found a particular verse may not be Jewish and/or may have been modified or moved. In the cases of the Testament of Isaac and the Testament of Solomon and the Apocalypse of Sedrach this indicates that the whole work is suspect of being non-Jewish.

Some of the verses have a capital letter affixed to the start of its numbering. These letters indicate a version, the meaning of the affixed can easily be understood by looking at the two volumes of “The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha” of Hendrickson Publishers [1] ¹ Charlesworth, James H., ed. The Old Testament Pseudepigrapha. 2 vols. Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers, 2010..
