Matius 5:17

Fulfillment of the Law and Prophets

5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish these things but to fulfill them. ¹ 

Matius 17:10

17:10 The disciples asked him, ²  “Why then do the experts in the law ³  say that Elijah must come first?”

[5:17]  ¹ tn Grk “not come to abolish but to fulfill.” Direct objects (“these things,” “them”) were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context, but have been supplied here to conform to contemporary English style.

[17:10]  ² tn Grk “asked him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant and has not been translated.

[17:10]  ³ tn Or “do the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.
