AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 5:38 ¶ "You have heard that it was said, 'AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH [punishment that fits the offense].' [Ex 21:24; Lev 24:20; Deut 19:21] |
Subject: where is it? |
Bible Note: Sheima, Moses did not say this in Exodus 21:24, it was God. There was the written Law, by Moses ... then the oral tradition (some would say law). What Jesus was referring to in verses 21, 27, 33, 38 and 43 was the latter. I think the Jews twisted Exodus 21:24. That is why He said "You have heard that it was said". Jesus never changed the written Law. 2 Corinthians 3:7 does refer to the 10 commandements. But, the Law was more than that. Searcher |
