Luke (though few scholars believe he was a helinistic Jew).



Q: How many OT (Tanach) books did Jesus reference in the Gospels?
No. Not Luke. This person is UNQUESTIONABLY Gentile.

After about half an hour, I decided to google the answer, and none is given aside from Luke. Who do you think wrote as a gentile?

If she hadn't been a woman, I would have voted for RUTH.

Yah, and I guess Google does too lol.
Ok. Hint time. It's in the OT. NOT an entire Book, or even an entire Chapter, but an Epistle nonetheless, penned by a gentile!

Oh, c'mon...... A quotation by a Greek or someone that was slipped in somewhere? Not fair.

Ok. I'll post it and you can decide if I pulled some cheese with you.

Daniel 4

[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace. 5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts on my bed and the visions of my head troubled me. 6 Therefore I issued a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. 7 Then the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers came in, and I told them the dream; but they did not make known to me its interpretation. 8 But at last Daniel came before me (his name is Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god; in him is the Spirit of the Holy God), and I told the dream before him, saying: 9 “Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the Spirit of the Holy God is in you, and no secret troubles you, explain to me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]10 “These were the visions of my head while on my bed:[/FONT]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]I was looking, and behold,
A tree in the midst of the earth,
And its height was great.
11 The tree grew and became strong;
Its height reached to the heavens,
And it could be seen to the ends of all the earth.
12 Its leaves were lovely,
Its fruit abundant,
And in it was food for all.
The beasts of the field found shade under it,
The birds of the heavens dwelt in its branches,
And all flesh was fed from it.
[/FONT]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]13 “I saw in the visions of my head while on my bed, and there was a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven. 14 He cried aloud and said thus:[/FONT]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]‘Chop down the tree and cut off its branches,
Strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit.
Let the beasts get out from under it,
And the birds from its branches.
15 Nevertheless leave the stump and roots in the earth,
Bound with a band of iron and bronze,
In the tender grass of the field.
Let it be wet with the dew of heaven,
And let him graze with the beasts
On the grass of the earth.
16 Let his heart be changed from that of a man,
Let him be given the heart of a beast,
And let seven times[a] pass over him.
[/FONT]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]17 ‘This decision is by the decree of the watchers,
And the sentence by the word of the holy ones,
In order that the living may know
That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men,
Gives it to whomever He will,
And sets over it the lowest of men.’
[/FONT]
[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot][FONT=&quot]18 “This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the Spirit of the Holy God is in you.”

He even signs it! Kinda...
