Luke 16:16-18

J.B. Phillips New Testament

Jesus states that the kingdom of God has superseded “the Law and the Prophets”

¹⁶ “The Law and the Prophets were in force until John’s day. From then on the good news of the kingdom of God has been proclaimed and men are forcing their way into it.

¹⁷ “Yet it would be easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for a single point of the Law to become a dead letter.”

¹⁸ “Any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery. And so does any man who marries the woman who was divorced from her husband.”
