Enoch doesn't quote Scripture

Some say that Enoch the Rabbinic text originally written in Hebrew usually dated to the fifth century CE- is quoted in the actual scripture. 

They say that Enoch 48:1
 In that place I beheld a fountain of righteousness, which never failed, encircled by many springs of wisdom. Of these all the thirsty drank, and were filled with wisdom, having their habitation with the righteous, the elect, and the holy.

is quoted in 

 John 4:14
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never be thirsty; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life.”


but John 4:14 is citing any number of passages already in the scripture 


  • Is 12:3  Therefore you will joyously draw water From the springs of salvation.

  • Is 55:1 “You there! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters;  And you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk  Without money and without cost.

  • Is 58:11 And the Lord will continually guide you,  And satisfy your desire in scorched places,  And give strength to your bones;  And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.

  • Jer 2:13 “For My people have committed two evils: They have abandoned Me, The fountain of living waters, To carve out for themselves cisterns, Broken cisterns That do not hold water.

  • Psalms 36:8-9 They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You allow them to drink from the river of Your delights.  9 For the fountain of life is with You; In Your light we see light.



Daniel 7:13 I kept looking in the night visions,  And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a son of man was coming,  And He came up to the Ancient of Days  And was presented before Him.
