Genesis In The New Testament
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Jun 26, 2023 (message contributor)
There are at least 165 passages in Genesis that are either directly quoted or clearly referred to in the New Testament. Many of these are alluded to more than once, so that there are at least two hundred quotations or allusions to Genesis in the New Testament
There exist over one hundred quotations or direct references to Genesis 1-11 in the New Testament. Furthermore, every one of these eleven chapters is alluded to somewhere in the New Testament, and every one of the New Testament authors refers somewhere in his writings to Genesis 1-11.
On at least six different occasions, Jesus Christ Himself quoted from or referred to something or someone in one of these chapters, including specific reference to each of the first seven chapters.
Genesis is quoted from over 200 times in the New Testament.
In fact chapters 1-11 is quoted more than 100 times in the New Testament. It’s not just mentioned, but you’ll find it being quoted word for word over 165 in the New Testament.
