Matthew 5:17-19
New American Standard Bible
17 “Do not presume that I came to abolish the (A)Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, (B)until heaven and earth pass away, not [a]the smallest letter or stroke of a letter shall pass from the Law, until all is accomplished! 19 Therefore, whoever nullifies one of the least of these commandments, and teaches [b]others to do the same, shall be called least (C)in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever [c]keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

New American Standard Bible
55 Now the chief priests and the entire [a](A)Council were trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any. 56 For many people were giving false testimony against Him, and so their testimonies were not consistent. 57 And then some stood up and began giving false testimony against Him, saying, 58 “We heard Him say, ‘(B)I will destroy this [b]temple that was made by hands, and in three days I will build another, made without hands.’” 59 And not even in this respect was their testimony consistent.

John 5:45-47
New American Standard Bible
45 Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is (A)Moses, in whom you have put your hope. 46 For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for (B)he wrote about Me. 47 But (C)if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”
