Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”

Moses gave you the law, but none of you obeys it! In fact, you are trying to kill me.”

In the past, God gave us grace through the law of Moses. Now, grace and truth come to us through Jesus Christ.

So from that day on, the Jewish rulers planned to kill Jesus.

After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He didn’t want to travel around in Judea. That was because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him.

Even those who are circumcised don’t obey the law. But they want you to be circumcised. Then they can brag about what has been done to your body.

But the Pharisees went out and planned how to kill Jesus.

They learn the law Moses gave us. It belongs to the community of the people of Jacob.

Only Moses can come close to me. The others must not come near. And the people may not go up with him.”Moses went and told the people all the Lord’ s words and laws. They answered with one voice. They said,“ We will do everything the Lord has told us to do.”

When you judge them, treat everyone the same. Listen to those who are important and those who are not. Don’t be afraid of anyone. God is the highest judge. Bring me any case that is too hard for you. I’ll listen to it.”

“ But the renters saw the son coming. They said to one another,‘ This is the one who will receive all the owner’s property someday. Come, let’s kill him. Then everything will be ours.’

Suppose you call yourself a Jew. You trust in the law. You brag that you know God.You know what God wants. You agree with what is best because the law teaches you.You think you know so much more than the people you teach. You think you’re helping blind people. You think you are a light for those in the dark.You think you can make foolish people wise. You act like you’re teaching little children. You think that the law gives you all knowledge and truth.You claim to teach others, but you don’t even teach yourself! You preach against stealing. But you steal!You say that people should not commit adultery. But you commit adultery! You hate statues of gods. But you rob temples!You brag about the law. But when you break it, you rob God of his honor!It is written,“ The Gentiles say evil things against God’s name because of you.”( Isaiah 52:5; Ezekiel 36:22)Circumcision has value if you obey the law. But if you break the law, it is just as if you hadn’t been circumcised.And sometimes those who aren’t circumcised do what the law requires. Won’t God accept them as if they had been circumcised?Many are not circumcised physically, but they obey the law. They will prove that you are guilty. You are breaking the law, even though you have the written law and are circumcised.A person is not a Jew if they are a Jew only on the outside. And circumcision is more than just something done to the outside of a man’s body.No, a person is a Jew only if they are a Jew on the inside. And true circumcision means that the heart has been circumcised by the Holy Spirit. The person whose heart has been circumcised does more than obey the written law. The praise that matters for that kind of person does not come from other people. It comes from God.

Again they tried to arrest him. But he escaped from them.

Then why was the law given at all? It was added because of human sin. And it was supposed to control us until the promised Seed had come. The law was given through angels, and a go- between was put in charge of it.

Then the Pharisees went out and began to make plans with the Herodians. They wanted to kill Jesus.

Then they began to attack him with their words.“ You are this fellow’s disciple!” they said.“ We are disciples of Moses!We know that God spoke to Moses. But we don’t even know where this fellow comes from.”

Then some of the people of Jerusalem began asking questions. They said,“ Isn’t this the man some people are trying to kill?

Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath day. So the Jewish leaders began to oppose him.

Some people do not know God’s law when they sin. They will not be judged by the law when they die. Others do know God’s law when they sin. They will be judged by the law.Hearing the law does not make a person right with God. People are considered to be right with God only when they obey the law.

For this reason the Jewish leaders tried even harder to kill him. According to them, Jesus was not only breaking the law of the Sabbath day. He was even calling God his own Father. He was making himself equal with God.

Again the Jews who had challenged him picked up stones to kill him.But Jesus said to them,“ I have shown you many good works from the Father. Which good work are you throwing stones at me for?”

It is written,“ No one is right with God, no one at all.No one understands. No one trusts in God.All of them have turned away. They have all become worthless. No one does anything good, no one at all.”( Psalms 14:1–3; 53:1–3; Ecclesiastes 7:20)“ Their throats are like open graves. With their tongues they tell lies.”( Psalm 5:9)“ The words from their lips are like the poison of a snake.”( Psalm 140:3)“ Their mouths are full of curses and bitterness.”( Psalm 10:7)“ They run quickly to commit murder.They leave a trail of harmful actions.They do not know how to live in peace.”( Isaiah 59:7, 8)“ They don’t have any respect for God.”( Psalm 36:1)What the law says, it says to those who are ruled by the law. Its purpose is to shut every mouth and make the whole world accountable to God.So no one will be considered right with God by obeying the law. Instead, the law makes us more aware of our sin.But now God has shown us his saving power without the help of the law. But the Law and the Prophets tell us about this.We are made right with God by putting our faith in Jesus Christ. This happens to all who believe. It is no different for the Jews than for the Gentiles.Everyone has sinned. No one measures up to God’s glory.

“ The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat,” he said.“ So you must be careful to do everything they say. But don’t do what they do. They don’t practice what they preach.They tie up heavy loads that are hard to carry. Then they put them on other people’s shoulders. But they themselves aren’t willing to lift a finger to move them.

“ Do not think I will bring charges against you in front of the Father. Moses is the one who does that. And he is the one you build your hopes on.

The person who builds a house has greater honor than the house itself. In the same way, Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses.Every house is built by someone. But God is the builder of everything.“ Moses was faithful as one who serves in the house of God.”( Numbers 12:7) He was a witness to what God would say in days to come.

Moses was with the Israelites in the desert. He was with the angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai. Moses was with our people of long ago. He received living words to pass on to us.

Then Jesus asked them,“ What does the Law say we should do on the Sabbath day? Should we do good? Or should we do evil? Should we save life? Or should we kill?” But no one answered.

Why do the nations plan evil together? Why do they make useless plans?The kings of the earth rise up against the Lord. The rulers of the earth join together against his anointed king.“ Let us break free from their chains,” they say.“ Let us throw off their ropes.”The God who sits on his throne in heaven laughs. The Lord makes fun of those rulers and their plans.When he is angry, he warns them. When his anger blazes out, he terrifies them.He says to them,“ I have placed my king on my holy mountain of Zion.”
