Christ Fulfills the Law

“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed

The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”

Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’

The Pharisees: Is It Lawful to Pay Taxes to Caesar?

Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk.

And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
