Which Text Did Jesus Use?

[Jerm]

Just out of curiosity, which text did Jesus most likely use when quoting the Old Testament?  I know that the Septuigent was widely used and highly regarded by Jesus' time, but I was always under the impression that Jesus spoke Aramaic.  Don't know if there's any solid historical answer to this question, but just thought I'd ask.

Probably like the rest of us, all of the texts available at the time.  Jerusalem had it's version, the Essenes had their version, the Samaritans had their version, and we all know about the Septuignt.  I ran across something interesting in Philemon earlier today, that I'm not prepared to comment on yet, that for me strengthened the case that Paul might have written Hebrews after all.  I'm not prepared to comment on it yet 'cause I wanna see if I was dealing with a translational issue using NASB.  If I did discover something earlier through Holy Spirit, then obviously Paul in writing his 14 epistles, if it turns out to have been all 14, seemed to favor the Septuignt.  But unless there are any Rabbinical writings of the era to explain a belief in feeling that by that time that was the superior text to have, then in all likelihood Paul might have simply been using it because of speaking to a Greek speaking audience. 

I've mused a few times that if I started doing a lot more ministry among Spanish speaking people that I genuinely have no idea what's the better Spanish translation, or if there is one.  It's often easier to try to use the translations of the people rather than to have these esoteric texts that only you've got access to, unless they're willing to pay the price and jump through quite a few hoops to find these translations that they wouldn't ordinarily find.  I've been using the Concordant and Scarlett's for most of my New Testament studies, recently, but I've been at the same time re-evaluating if that could hinder me at some point if I don't stay fresh on how a translation like Rotherham's and maybe Young's would handle such and such since both the Concordant and Scarlett's are considered Universalist translations since Universalists had input into the translation.  Not sure why that should matter, but as you know, your average ETer wants you jumping through their flaming hoops in order to prove to them that the Dungeons and Dragons version of eschatology is completely false.

this is a very interesting topic, i think the writers of the NT quote the septuagint, i don´t think that Jesus spoke Greek though he might have understand Greek, i quess he used a Hebrew or Aramaic version, maybe those bibles avaiable at where he preached.
