Did Jesus (Yahsua) Deliberately Misquote Scripture?

 

      Jesus (Yahsua) frequently quoted directly from the Hebrew Scriptures.  Following is a list of verses that contain the name YHWH and which Jesus quoted verbatim in the New Testament.  All of the verses where Jesus directly quotes the Old Testament can be easily verified by a Rotherham, Hebrew-Roots Verions Scriptures, Jerusalem or Sacred Name Bible, all of which faithfully render YHWH's Name in the Old Testament.6

      The implication of the Messiah quoting the Old Testament is significant.  Either He accurately quoted from the Old Testament including using the sacred name of the living God, YHWH, or he didn't accurately quote from the Scriptures.  Would the Messiah be afraid to openly use the name YHWH in fear of the commands of men and rabbis who at that time claimed if one were to openly pronounce the name YHWH they would violate the 3th Commandment and be declared having blasphemed which would be punishable by death?  

 

      The above information certainly is not exhaustive nor is it intended to be.  The purpose is to encourage further research and investigation by each believer so they may determine for them­selves Biblical truth.
