Matthew 5:17
Douay-Rheims
Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
John Chrysostom
(Hom. xvi.) Christ then fulfilled the Prophets by accomplishing what was therein foretold concerning Himself—and the Law, first, by transgressing none of its precepts; secondly, by justifying by faith, which the Law could not do by the letter.
