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

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

He speaks not this of the old laws, but of those which He was now going to enact, of which he says, the least, though they were all great. For as He so oft spoke humbly of Himself, so does He now speak humbly of His precepts.
