The modern Masoretic texts did not exist in the time of Jesus they were written sometime after the 7 century c.e. so it is an absolute certainty that Jesus did not quote them. The Septuagint was in existence prior to the time of Jesus and was in common use in His time. Jesus was literate and likely wrote something but there is no evidence of that. No need to take my word for a fact.Jesus himself did not write anything. We have only writings of the apostles and its true that their quotations of the OT correspond to Septuagint more frequently than to modern masoretic text. But not always.
So there was not one perfect source of Scriptures in those times (like it is not today). But the Septuagint line of Scriptures was used much more frequently than others.
