of Job and of Psalms 90 and 91 is attributed to
him. Malachi, the last book of the Hebrew canon,
refers us back to the first part of the Bible as
authentic and inspired, saying : "Remember ye
the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded
unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and
ordinances."-Malachi 4 :4, ASV.
5 Did Jesus read the Bible? The word "Bible"
is drawn from the Greek word bi .bli'a, which
means "little books" . Jesus had all thirty-nine inspired
books of the Hebrew Scriptures available
in either the original tongue or the Greek Septuagint
translation. Being the Son of David and
Heir of the Kingdom covenant to whom God's instructions
for anointed kings at Deuteronomy
17 :14-20 applied, he read those Scriptures privately
and publicly. "He came to Nazareth, where
he had been reared, and according to his custom
on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue,
and he stood up to read aloud . So the scroll of
the prophet Isaiah was handed him, and he opened
the scroll and found the place where it was written,
Jehovah's spirit is upon me, because he
anointed me to declare good news to the poor,
. . . to preach Jehovah's acceptable year .' With
that he rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the
attendant and sat down ." Then he said : "Today
this scripture that you just heard is fulfilled ."

but knew them by heart and quoted them .
In his temptation by the Devil in the wilderness
