Deuterocanonicals are referred to in the New Testament

Contrary to the claim that Jesus and the New Testament authors do not refer to the Deuterocanonical Scripture, the New Testament actually contains several allusions to these books. While there may not be clear quotations from them, or even from many proto-canonical books of the Old Testament, the New Testament does contain clear illusions to the Deuterocanonicals. For instance, Jesus' teaching about God's forgiveness being linked to our forgiveness of others is expressed in the Lord's Prayer and is also found in the Deuterocanonical Book of Cyrak. This indicates that Jesus picked up and developed teachings from the Deuterocanonicals just as he did with other Old Testament Scriptures.
