OT References in Matthew
Table of Old Testament references found in Matthew. I didn't include references where the contextual text made no mention of a prophecy, command, or other Old Testament passage. (Examples would be Jesus' quoting of Psalm 22 in Matthew 27 or the people's quoting of Psalm 118 in Matthew 21.)
