My NT class prof. from ORU said he quoted the "targum." It was not a translation of the original. My prof. compared it to the Living Bible, an "interpetation" Bible.
He said that Jesus' OT quotes sounded like they came from the targum rather than from the transalation.
Hint: Your most popular English versions of the OT will not match Jesus' words where He quoted from Isaiah. Why?

You are on right track, but there is a very good reason why His words in Luke don't match the verses in Isaiah in our most popular versions.

There were three versions of the Septuagint (LXX)?
No, but the Septuagint is the right answer, Jesus words in Luke quoted from Isaiah match only the Septuagint.
The Dead Sea Scrolls revealed that there were at least three different versions of the OT in 250 BC:
Different archaeologists use different naming conventions for the various Old Testaments discovered near the Dead Sea.
Archaeologist Frank Moore Cross uses the following convention: Palestinian (the Hebrew texts that match the Samaritan Pentateuch), Babylonian (the Hebrew manuscripts that match the Masoretic text--the text used in modern Old Testaments), and Egyptian (the Hebrew manuscripts that match the Greek Septuagint). Other archaeologists use other naming conventions (such as pre-Samaritan, proto-Masoretic, and proto--Septuagint).
Shalom!!
