Abstract
In Letter 47, Timothy I, Catholicos of the Church of the East, presented several biblical passages that have no obvious intertextual connections. For example, Timothy I did not know where in the Old Testament it is written that Jesus Christ would be called a Nazarene (Mt. 2, 23). According to him, in a cave near Jericho, an Arab with his dog suddenly discovered many biblical manuscripts. So, the Catholicos hoped to find in these discoveries a solution to the biblical aporias. In this article, author draws attention to the biblical passages quoted by Timothy I and try to establish intertextual connections in the biblical texts, while the Old Testament is represented by the Masoretic text, Peshiṭta, Septuagint and Syro-Hexapla, that the New Testament is represented by Peshiṭta and the critical edition of Nestle-Aland.
