The Septuagint was translated from Hebrew to Greek about 200 years BEFORE Jesus was born.
The Masoretic text was put together by Jewish Rabbi's about 1,000 AD.
Jesus and all other Jewish boys of his time, used the Hebrew Scriptures his local synagogue had a copy.
The New Testament writers when quoting from the Old Testament used the Septuagint instead of translating on the fly from the Hebrew.
The Masoretic text is the base text used for the Old Testament portion of the King James Bible.

9th century AD Jews used the Masoretic.
The MT was derived from the text that was gradually standardized in the Talmudic era. Hebrew texts from the time of Jesus (i.e. Dead Sea Scrolls, Samaritan Penteteuch, etc.) mostly agree with the Septuagint, and it is likely that a few of the quotes in the New Testament are drawn from earlier Hebrew versions. The Book of Job, as quoted in the New Testament, doesn't match the LXX or the MT.

The Septuagint?
That's a group of 70 Bible Scholars from the middle ages. The Septuagint wasn't even around at the time of Jesus.
What Jesus taught from was the Old Testament scrolls of Judaism.

Good question, I would think probably the Pharisees or Sadducee's (the 2 major Jewish religious sects of Jesus' day).
They were always speaking of the Moses Laws.
