Paul & Jesus
Paul only quoted Jesus three times:
1 Corinthians 7:10
10 To the married I give this command—not I but the Lord—that the wife should not separate from her husband. NRSV
1 Corinthians 9:14
14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel. NRSV
1 Corinthians 11:22-25.
23 For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” NRSV
Paul did not include any of Jesus’s parables in his letters.
