Matthew 5:17 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Think not — Do not imagine, fear, hope, that I am come — Like your teachers, to destroy the law or the prophets. I am not come to destroy — The moral law, but to fulfil — To establish, illustrate, and explain its highest meaning, both by my life and doctrine.

Matthew 5:17

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