Romans 11:35 is in most Bibles erroneously associated to Job 41:3, but it clearly refers to the longer text of Isa 40:14 which is found in: Codex Sinaiticus (S*), Codex Alexandrinus and three other Alexandrian manuscripts (26-86-106), a handful of Lucianic manuscripts (90-36-46-233), all Catena manuscripts (C´' -566), several manuscripts that the scholar Joseph Ziegler classifies as mixed (198 239-306 407 449-770 534 538), the Coptic translations, and one Syriac version. The scribe(s) of the Codex Vaticanus removed this passage from Isa 40:14 !
New Testament Quotations · Acts
The Book of Acts shows us a good example for a certain liberty between quotations and the fact that the Bible informs us sometimes gradually about certain events.
Here we find within the same book and from the same author (Luke) different snippets from the very same conversation of Saul with IESOUS CHRISTOS. While Acts 22 adds the first detail to the conversation, we find in Acts 26 a significant part of the conversation, which is not yet included in the original account of the conversation in Acts 9.
