Hi Linda,

I have compiled a table of quotes in English, although I have no pretensions
that the document is of much scholarly use. It is available at
http://weber.u.washington.edu/~jdkalv/LXX/NTChart.html

I have a much more in-depth table using Rahlf's and the NT in Greek, along
with textual analysis markings, but is not available on-line. FWIW,

jk
