Quote:2 Corinthians 9:9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
Psalms 112:9 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
Quote:Matthew 21:5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Quote:Matthew 13:35 I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Psalms 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old
There is a shitload of these. Prepare your excuses.
The reference your giving are English translations of earlier texts written in a different language. Probably none of the new testament writers' comments match word for word with whatever version of the old testament you're using. All translations are jut that - translations. It's impossible to get the exact wording of the writings which you are interpreting when translating into a different language. In fact many translations, such as the NIV, are phrase for phrase translations. The new testament writers were probably referencing one of the Hebrew language texts that were in use at the time and were writing in Greek. Keep trying.
