17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

17 “Do not think that I came to do away with or undo the [a]Law [of Moses] or the [writings of the] Prophets; I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For I assure you and most solemnly say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke [of the pen] will pass from the Law until all things [which it foreshadows] are accomplished. 19 So whoever breaks one of the least [important] of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least [important] in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

  1. Matthew 5:17 I.e. the Pentateuch.

Jesús cumple la ley y los profetas

17 »No piensen que he venido para poner fin a la ley o a los profetas(A); no he venido para poner fin, sino para cumplir. 18 Porque en verdad les digo que hasta que pasen el cielo y la tierra(B), no se perderá ni la letra más pequeña[a] ni una tilde de la ley hasta que toda se cumpla.

19 »Cualquiera, pues, que anule uno solo de estos mandamientos, aun de los más pequeños, y así lo enseñe a otros[b], será llamado muy pequeño en el reino de los cielos; pero cualquiera que los guarde[c] y los enseñe, este será llamado grande en el reino de los cielos(C).
