The deuterocanonicals are an important part of the Bible. They clearly 
pointed to Christ, which is why the Jews eventually threw them out, and 
Protestants followed their example. 

Here's an excerpt from Wisdom 2:12-20. This may help explain why the Jews 
rejected the deuterocanonicals (they were originally in the LXX or 
Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible).

   12. “Let us lie in wait for the righteous man, because he is inconvenient 
   to us and opposes our actions; he reproaches us for sins against the law, 
   and accuses us of sins against our training. 13. He professes to have 
   knowledge of God, and calls himself a child of the Lord. 14. He became to 
   us a reproof of our thoughts; 15. the very sight of him is a burden to us, 
   because his manner of life is unlike that of others, and his ways are 
   strange. 16. We are considered by him as something base, and he avoids our 
   ways as unclean; he calls the last end of the righteous happy, and boasts 
   that God is his father. 17. Let us see if his words are true, and let us 
   test what will happen at the end of his life; 18. for if the righteous man 
   is God’s son, he will help him and will deliver him from the hand of his 
   adversaries. 19. Let us test him with insult and torture, that we may find 
   out how gentle he is, and make trial of his forbearance. 20. Let us 
   condemn him to a shameful death, for, according to what he says, he will 
   be protected.”

This was written centuries before Christ's death on the cross. There's also 
a lot about the Virgin Mary in the deuterocanonicals, as interpreted by 
Catholic saints.
