I would say Matthew. Matthew was written specifically for Jews, who believe in the Old Testament.Answer:The book of Revelation contains the most references to verses in the Hebrew Scriptures (the 'Old Testament'). Messiah ('Jesus') most often quoted verses in the books of Deuteronomy, Psalms, and Isaiah. Every writer in the Messianic Scriptures (the 'New Testament') made reference to verses in the 'Old Testament.'
New testament
Paul wrote roughly half of the New Testament, which directly quotes the Old Testament 250 times, and if you count partial quotes, it is over 1000. So about half of 250 is 125, and half of 1000 is 500. So roughly, give or take a hundred or more, he directly quotes the old testament 125 times, and overall he quotes or references the old testament 500 times(that includes the 125). I know this isn't scientific, but it's better than nothing.
It is the first book in the New Testament.
