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.
