The multitude answered Him, We have heard out of the Law that Christ abideth for ever. John xii 34.
This is written in Psalm lxxxix 29; cx 4; Dan. vii 14.
That the Word might be fulfilled that is written in their Law, They hated me without a cause. John xv 25.
This is written in Psalm xxxv 19.
The Pharisees said, Have any of the rulers . . . believed on Him? But this people who knoweth not the Law. John vii 48, 49.
It is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the Law to fail. Luke xvi 17.
