house of Jacob for
ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end." Luke 1:32, 33.

To draw the exact line of separation between the two above named classes
of citations is difficult, and in some cases perhaps impossible. Nor is
it necessary, since the essential truth is, that all these prophecies
find their accomplishment in Christ; those of the former class directly,
those of the latter through types of divine appointment.

The exegesis of the New Testament quotations presents many difficult
questions, relating partly to the true rendering of the original words,
partly to the deviations of the Septuagint from the Hebrew, and the
citations from both the Septuagint and the Hebrew; partly to the
original application of the passages cited and the use made of them in
the New Testament. For the details the student must be referred to the
commentators. All that has been here attempted is a statement of the
general principles that must govern us in interpreting the quotations
from the Old Testament which are found in the New.
