Luke 16:14-16

J.B. Phillips New Testament

^14-15 Now the Pharisees, who were very fond of money, heard all this with a sneer. But he said to them, “You are the people who advertise your goodness before men, but God knows your hearts. Remember, there are things men consider perfectly splendid which are detestable in the sight of God!”

Jesus states that the kingdom of God has superseded “the Law and the Prophets”

¹⁶ “The Law and the Prophets were in force until John’s day. From then on the good news of the kingdom of God has been proclaimed and men are forcing their way into it.
