• The Legends of the Jews by Louis Ginzberg - This is an invaluable resource, but unfortunately the public domain online edition does not include the footnotes and indices of vols 5-7 which are really needed to make use of the text. There is a search function on the site that helps. Note however that Volume 5 with footnotes to vols 1-2 has the "Search Inside" feature on Amazon.

• Midrash Rabbah - This is one of the most fascinating collection of rabbinic comments (though many are probably of relatively late date). For working in English, you especially need to consult the indices of the 10 volume Soncino edition. Only small portions of it are online.
• Navigating the Bible - Has text of the Pentateuch and commentary often drawn from rabbinic sources
• Kommentar zum Neuen Testament aus Talmud und Midrasch by Strack and Billerbeck - Though it must be used with caution, there really isn't any other resource like this for finding possible relationships between the NT and rabbinic literature.
