"Do not suppose that I have come to set aside the law or the prophets.

I have not come to set them aside but to fill them up to the brim. For I solemnly say to you, heaven and earth would sooner pass away than the dotting of an 'i' or the crossing of a 't' from the law, until it all becomes in force.

And just as He was saying these things to them, an official came up and fell on his knees before Him, and said, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand upon her and she will come to life."

For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,

For up to the days of John all the prophets, and even the law, prophesied about it,

How he went into the house of God, and they ate the sacred loaves, which it was against the law for him or his soldiers to eat, or for anyone except the priests?

Or, did you never read in the law that the priests in the temple break the sabbath, and yet are not guilty?

But He said to them, "What man is there among you, if he has only one sheep and it falls into a ditch on the sabbath, will not lay hold on it and lift it out?

After that some little children were brought to Him, for Him to lay His hands on them and pray for them, but His disciples reproved those who brought them.

He asked Him, "What sort of commandments?" Jesus answered, "You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not lie,

And one of their number, an expert in the law, to tempt Him, asked,

"Teacher, what sort of command is greatest in the law?"

The essence of the whole law and the prophets is packed into these two commands."

And Simon's mother-in-law was confined to her bed with a fever. So they at once told Him about her.

So the Pharisees were saying to Him, "Just look! Why are they doing on the Sabbath what it is against the law to do?"

How is it that he went into the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the sacred loaves, which it is against the law for anyone except the priests to eat, and gave part of them to his soldiers, too?"

and kept earnestly begging Him, saying, "My dear little daughter is at the point of death. Come, lay your hands on her, so that she may get well and live."

And they brought to Him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Him to lay His hand upon him.

But Jesus said to them, "It was due to your moral perversity that Moses wrote that command in your law.

Now some men were carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were trying to get him in and lay him before Jesus.

And some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is against the law to do on the Sabbath?"

How he went into the house of God and took and ate the sacred loaves, which it was against the law for anyone to eat except the priests, and gave some to his soldiers?"

but the Pharisees and experts in the law thwarted God's purpose for themselves by refusing to be baptized by him.

But Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, even wild birds have roosts, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."

Just then an expert in the law got up to test Him by asking, "Teacher, what shall I do to get possession of eternal life?"

And He answered him, "What is written in the law? How does it read?"

Then an expert in the law interrupted Him and said, "Teacher, in saying this you are insulting us, too."

He said, "Yes, a curse on you experts in the law, too, because you load people down with loads too heavy to carry, and yet you do not touch the loads yourselves with one of your fingers!

A curse on you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to the door of knowledge! You did not go in yourselves, and you kept out those who tried to get in."

Father will be against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

He answered the experts in the law and the Pharisees by asking, "Is it right to cure people on the Sabbath or not?"

Then He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you, that everything which is written about me in the law of Moses, in the prophets, and in the Psalms, had to be fulfilled."

For while the law was given through Moses, spiritual blessing and truth have come through Jesus Christ.

Philip sought out Nathaniel and said to him, "We have found the One about whom Moses wrote in the law and the One about whom the prophets wrote; it is Jesus, the son of Joseph, who comes from Nazareth."

and in these there used to lie a great crowd of sick people, blind, crippled, paralyzed.

So the Jews began to say to the man who had been cured, "It is the Sabbath, and it is against the law for you to carry your pallet."

Did not Moses give you the law? And yet not one of you is keeping that law. If so, why are you trying to kill me?"

Well, if a male child undergoes circumcision on the Sabbath, to keep the law of Moses from being broken, are you angry with me for making a man perfectly well on the Sabbath?

and some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one ventured to lay a hand upon Him.

But this mob, which knows nothing about the law, is bound to be accursed!"

"Our law does not condemn a man before it hears what he has to say and finds out what he is doing, does it?"

In our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now, what do you say?"

Even in your own law it is written, 'The testimony of two persons is true.'

You sprang from the devil, your real father, and you want to practice your father's wishes. He was a murderer from the very start, and he does not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks out of his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

Jesus answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You are gods"'?

Pilate said to them, "Take Him yourselves, and try Him in accordance with your own law." Then the Jews said to him, "It is not lawful for us to execute the death penalty on anyone."

The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and in accordance with that law He deserves to die, for claiming to be God's Son."

As long as it was unsold, was it not yours, and when it was sold, was not the money at your disposal? How could you have the heart to do such a thing! You did not lie to men but to God!"

But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, highly respected by all the people, got up in the council and gave orders to put the men out of the council a little while;

Then they put up false witnesses who said, "This man never stops saying things against this holy place and against the law,

you who received the law by order of the angels, and yet you did not obey it!"

Everybody, high and low, kept running after him, saying, "He is certainly what is known as the Great Power of God!"

They gave the glory to God, when they heard it, and said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousand believers there are among the Jews, all of them zealous champions of the law.

Take them along with you, purify yourself with them, and bear the expense for them of having their heads shaved. Then everybody will know that none of those things they have been told about you are so, but that you yourself are living as a constant observer of the law.

After setting sail from there, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the wind was against us,

For a number of days we sailed on slowly and with difficulty arrived off Cnidus. Then, because the wind did not permit us to go on, we sailed under the lee of Crete off Cape Salmone,

As we passed under the lee of a small island called Cauda, with great difficulty we were able to secure the ship's boat.

So they set a day for him, and came in large numbers to see him at the place where he was lodging, and from morning till night he continued to explain to them the kingdom of God, at the same time giving them his own testimony and trying from the law of Moses and the prophets to convince them about Jesus.
