Jesus ans the Apostles used the Greek Septuagint. It was translated in Alexandria (285-246 B.C.) This old Testament had these 7 books: (Tobit,Judith, Baruch,Wisdom, 1&2 Maccabees).
Martin Luther used The Jewish Cannon of Jamnia.

Every time the New Testament uses and quotes the Old Testament, It takes the Verses from the Septuagint. That is what Paul and the Apostles used.

spamandham: of Coarse Jesus was a Jewish Rabbi!, however Hebrew was a dead language then, so every Jew used the septuagint because Greek was the most common language of the world then.

You are correct that early Christians used Greek translations, which is why they made rather rediculous errors like misinterpreting Nazarite to mean 'someone from Nazareth'. Is any other proof even really needed that Jesus was not a Jewish Rabbi?

The original Greek translation of the Bible was only of the 5 Books of Moses (the Torah).

And in any case, that original translation was lost to history long ago.

I didn't know that. Do you mean to say that the Old Testament had those 7 books in addition to the others? I've heard of those books, and don't understand why they aren't in my Bible. Where can I view or buy them?

Very few, that's why there are so many misinterpretations.
