To the Church in Galatia, which were trying to go back under the LAW, Paul wrote: Galatians 3:10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is writtenDeuteronomy 27:26, Jeremiah 11:3, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Galatians 3:13Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: forit is writtenDeuteronomy 21:23, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Galatians 4:22 For it is writtenGenesis 12, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. Galatians 4:27 For it is writtenIsaiah 54:1, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
And Paul reminded his “son”: 1 Timothy 5:18For thescripture saithDeuteronomy 25:1, thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
To fellow Jewish believers Paul quoted: Hebrews 10:7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the bookit is writtenPsalm 40:7, of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Even though the Gentiles were not knowledgeable of the Jewish Scripture, Paul was and he quoted them often. To the Corinthians:
1 Corinthians 1:19For it is writtenIsaiah 29:14, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 1 Corinthians 1:31 That, according as it is writtenJeremiah 9:24, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is writtenIsaiah 64:4, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians 3:19For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written Job 5:13, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 1 Corinthians 9:9 For it is writtenDeuteronomy 25:4, in the law of Moses, thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? 1 Corinthians 10:7Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written Exodus 32:6, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 1 Corinthians 14:21 In the lawit is written Isaiah 28:11-12, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:45And so it is writtenGenesis 2:7, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 2 Corinthians 4:13We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is writtenPsalm 119:10, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 2 Corinthians 8:15As it is written Exodus 16:18, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack. 2 Corinthians 9:9 (As it is writtenPsalm 112:9, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
Even though the Gentiles were not knowledgeable of the Jewish Scripture, Paul was and he quoted them often. To the Romans: Romans 1:17For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is writtenHabakkuk 2:4, The just shall live by faith. Romans 2:24For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is writtenLeviticus 18:22. Romans 3:4God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written Psalm 51:4, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Romans 3:10As it is writtenPsalm 14:1-3, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 4:17 (As it is writtenGenesis 17:5, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Romans 8:36 As it is writtenPsalm 44:22, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Romans 9:13 As it is writtenMalachi 1:1-2, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. Romans 9:17 For the scripture saith Exodus 9:16, unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Romans 9:33As it is writtenIsaiah 8:14, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Romans 10:11For the scripture saithIsaiah 25:16, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Romans 10:15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written Isaiah 5:34, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Romans 11:2God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith1 Kings 19:10,14 of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying, Romans 11:8 (According as it is written Isaiah 44:18, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. Romans 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is writtenIsaiah 59:20, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is writtenProverbs 25:21-22, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 14:11 For it is writtenJeremiah 4:17, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Romans 15:3For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written,Psalm 69:9, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. Romans 15:9And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is writtenPsalm 18:49, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. Romans 15:21 But as it is writtenIsaiah 11:10, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
Acts 1:20 For it is written Psalm 69:25,109:8, in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take. Acts 7:42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written Psalm 95:10, Amos 5:25, in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Acts 15:15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is writtenAmos 9:11-12, James 4:5Do ye think that the scripture saithProverbs 3:31, 14:30, 23:17, 27:4, in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 1 Peter 1:16Because it is writtenLeviticus 20:7, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
And Paul also quoted from the Scripture. Acts 23:5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is writtenExodus 22:28, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
The Lord Jesus many time said IT IS WRITTEN, which validates the Scripture is the word of God. Matthew 2:5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written Genesis 4:10 by the prophet, Matthew 4:4, Luke 4:4But he answered and said, It is written,Deuteronomy 8:3Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:6-7And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, Psalms 91:11-12 He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is writtenDeuteronomy 6:16 again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written Deuteronomy 6:13, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Mark 1:2, Luke 7:27As it is writtenMalachi 3:1, in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Mark 7:6He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written Isaiah 29:13, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Mark 9:12-13 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is writtenPsalm 22:6, of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is writtenIsaiah 53 of him. Matthew 11:10For this is he, of whom it is written Malachi 3:1,Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Matthew 21:13, Luke 19:46 And said unto them, It is writtenIsaiah 56:7, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. Matthew 26:24, Mark 14:21The Son of man goeth asit is written Psalm 41:9 of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. Matthew 26:31, Mark 14:27Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is writtenZechariah 13:7, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. Luke 2:23 (As it is writtenExodus 13:2, in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) Luke 3:4As it is written Isaiah 40:3, in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Luke 4:8And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is writtenDeuteronomy 6:13, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Luke 4:10For it is written Psalms 91:11-12, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee: Luke 24:46And said unto them, Thus it is writtenHosea 6:1-2, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: John 6:31Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written Exodus 16:15, He gave them bread from heaven to eat. John 6:45It is writtenIsaiah 54:13, in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. John 12:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written, Zechariah 9:9 John 19:37 And again another scripture saithZechariah 12:10, They shall look on him whom they pierced.

Ezra A son of Adonikam, an exile who returned to Jerusalem 8:13 A priest who was defiled by marriage to an idolatrous woman 10:43
Luke 1:3-4It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. Acts 1:1The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
“Theophilus” literally means “loved by God,” but carries the idea of “friend of God.” It’s clear that Luke is writing to a specific individual, even though his message is also intended for all Christians in all centuries. Also important to note that Luke addresses him as “most excellent,” a title often used when referring to someone of honor or rank, such as a Roman official. The reason for writing to Theophilus was “that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught”.
The Magi knew who they were looking for: Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. (Matthew 2:2)
He presented himself as the King of the Jews. “He shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end” (Luke 1:33).
The only time Paul refers to the Lord Jesus as King: “Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords.” (1 Timothy 6:15)
Paul does write about a time when all will recognize this: “every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth” (Philippians 2:10).
He created all things, He is the King of creation. “For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land” (Psalm 95:3-5). And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: (Ephesians 3:9) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: (Colossians 1:16)
He is the King of redemption, having set believers free from the kingdom of the wicked one. He “hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” (Colossians 1:13-14).
There is a day coming in which all the kings of the earth shall unite against Him. “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:14). “And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron….And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS” (Revelation 19:15-16). Until then, as joint heirs (Romans 8:17, Titus 3:7), let us submit to Him as Lord.
