References are found in the English of each passage. Many Fathers number the Psalms the old Greek way (their Psalm 21 is our Psalm 22); a Psalm reference is filed under our numbering when its words clearly match that psalm. Citations of Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch and 1 and 2 Maccabees, books the early Church also read, are not indexed here yet.
