We see the same thing in Buddhism. Siddhārtha Gautama (Buddha) referenced the Hindu Vedas and shares various concepts that were eventually popularized in the Upanishads. After all, just as Buddhism grew out of Hinduism; Christianity grew out of Judaism.

Sidhartha quoted Vedic writings, because he was a vedic reformist. Yet, if I asked you what translation or interpretation did he quote from could you tell me? That is what I'm asking you. Torah what Torah? What Torah did Jesus and the apostles get their quotes from? Christianity grew out of Judaism? What Judaism? You mean Jesus look liked Rabbi Mendel Schneerson? Was Jesus part of the Baal Shem Tov's Chabad? What Judaism did Christianity grow out of?
