When talking with a Catholic friend (I'm a Protestant) about the apocrypha/deuterocanonical books, it occurred to me that a possible argument for their inclusion in the Canon would be their authority, measured in two ways: - Claiming to be speaking on behalf of God (e.g "Thus saith the Lord...") - Being quoted by other books considered to be a part of the Canon Thus, I was wondering which (if any) books are quoted or referenced in the New Testament? Also, are there any OT books that quote the apocrypha? (I have a feeling this may be a *stupid question* since, if I understand correctly, they were mostly written before the apocrypha.)
