NASB | Matthew 8:4 And Jesus *said to him, "See that you tell no one; but go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 8:4 And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell no one [about this]; but go, show yourself to the priest [for inspection] and present the offering that Moses commanded, as a testimony (evidence) to them [of your healing]." [Lev 14:2] |
Bible Question: In many places, Jesus commanded those He healed to follow the Jewish laws of offerings in regards to their healing. He emphasizes many times that we should follow the laws of Moses. Should we be doing this, even in this day? I don't know about you but I have never taken a lamb or a dove to my church as an offering. And during the woman's cycle when she is considered unclean, should she not go to church? Or after handling a dead body, should a person follow the rituals of purifying before entering the Lord's temple? The clean and unclean meats were done away with by Paul's dream, but what about the rest of the rules? |
Bible Answer: We must recognize that before the death of Christ the Old Covenant or the Mosaic Covenant was still in operation-therefore the Jews were still under OT Torah-but after the Cross Death of Jesus a New Covenant was instituted that replaced the Old Covenant-read the Epistle to the Hebrews-we are not to observe OT Torah-for further study read the book "The Shadow of Christ In The Law Of Moses" by Vern Poythress. |
