Wikipedia<\/a>). In John 10:34-35, Jesus said, \u201cIs it not written in your Law, I said you are gods? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came\u2014and Scripture cannot be broken\u2026\u201d Jesus quotes Psalm 82:6 as if it is part of the Law, referring to it as Scripture, although this isn’t part of the Law of Moses. Paul does a similar thing in 1Cor 14:21 where he says, \u201cIn the Law, it is written, \u201cBy people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners will I speak to this people, and even then, they will not listen to me, says the Lord.\u201d Paul quotes Isaiah 28:11-12 as if it is the Law.\u00a0<\/p>It is a mistake to read into Jesus words regarding his fulfillment of the Law, that he was reinforcing the many specific commandments given to Israel through Moses. Luke 24:44 speaks of fulfilling the Law in a parallel sense with Matthew 5:17-18 when Jesus said, \u201cThese are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.\u201d What he means by fulfilling is that all that is in the Scripture (the wide body of revelation), will be fulfilled in him. That is, all of God’s intentions to be realized through his chosen one, the Messiah, will be accomplished. Jesus is talking about the fulfillment of the Law (wide body of Scripture) in a prophetic sense. This corresponds to the ministry of Paul recorded in Acts 28:23, \u201cFrom morning till evening he expounded to them, testifying to the kingdom of God and trying to convince them about Jesus both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>
The Greek word translated as \u201cabolish\u201d or \u201cdestroy\u201d in many English translations has the basic literal meaning to descend, put down or loosen\u201d This basic meaning of putting down can be interpreted as to render as vain, deprive of success, bring to naught, discard, or diminish. That is, Jesus did not come to reject the Scriptures or cast them aside\u2014he came to fulfill them. The wide body of Scripture at the time of Jesus was called the \u201cLaw.\u201d \u00a0We refer to the wide body of Scripture today as the \u201cBible.\u201d In a modern way of speaking, Jesus is essentially saying in Matthew 5:17 that he came not to invalidate the Bible, but to fulfill it. And that no details will pass from the Bible until all is accomplished. Clearly, this is regarding the fulfillment of prophetic revelation as attested by Jesus in Luke 24:44, \u201cthat everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.\u201d<\/p>
