&#8220;The<n id="1" /> experts in the law<n id="2" /> and the Pharisees<n id="3" /> sit on Moses&#8217; seat.

Someone who rejected the law of Moses was put to death<n id="1" /> without mercy <i>on the testimony of two or three witnessesi>.<n id="2" />

Then<n id="1" /> beginning with Moses and all the prophets,<n id="2" /> he interpreted to them the things written about<n id="3" /> himself in all the scriptures.p>

For the law was given through Moses, but<n id="1" /> grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.

<p class="bodytext">They<n id="1" /> heaped insults<n id="2" /> on him, saying,<n id="3" /> &#8220;You are his disciple!<n id="4" /> We are disciples of Moses!

For which ones heard and rebelled? Was it not all who came out of Egypt under Moses&#8217; leadership?<n id="1" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now<n id="1" /> when the time came for their<n id="2" /> purification according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary<n id="3" /> brought Jesus<n id="4" /> up to Jerusalem<n id="5" /> to present him to the Lord

He<n id="1" /> replied to him, &#8216;If they do not respond to<n id="2" /> Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.&#8217;&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

However, because Moses gave you the practice of circumcision<n id="1" /> (not that it came from Moses, but from the forefathers), you circumcise a male child<n id="2" /> on the Sabbath.

But if a male child<n id="1" /> is circumcised<n id="2" /> on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken,<n id="3" /> why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well<n id="4" /> on the Sabbath?

and by this one<n id="1" /> everyone who believes is justified<n id="2" /> from everything from which the law of Moses could not justify<n id="3" /> you.<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Now some men came down from Judea<n id="1" /> and began to teach the brothers, &#8220;Unless you are circumcised<n id="2" /> according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.&#8221;

But some from the religious party of the Pharisees<n id="1" /> who had believed stood up and said, &#8220;It is necessary<n id="2" /> to circumcise the Gentiles<n id="3" /> and to order them to observe<n id="4" /> the law of Moses.&#8221;p>

For it is written in the law of Moses, &#8220;<b><i>Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the graini>b>.&#8221;<n id="1" /> God is not concerned here about oxen, is he?

Now as for the dead being raised,<n id="1" /> have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the bush,<n id="2" /> how God said to him, &#8216;<b><i>I am the God of Abraham, thei>b><n id="3" /> <b><i>God of Isaac, and the God of Jacobi>b>&#8217;?<n id="4" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> he said to them, &#8220;These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me<n id="2" /> in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms<n id="3" /> must be fulfilled.&#8221;

They have been informed about you &#8211; that you teach all the Jews now living<n id="1" /> among the Gentiles to abandon<n id="2" /> Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children<n id="3" /> or live<n id="4" /> according to our customs.

Yet death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the same way that Adam (who is a type<n id="1" /> of the coming one) transgressed.<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">But if the ministry that produced death &#8211; carved in letters on stone tablets<n id="1" /> &#8211; came with glory, so that the Israelites<n id="2" /> could not keep their eyes fixed on the face of Moses because of the glory of his face<n id="3" /> (a glory<n id="4" /> which was made ineffective),<n id="5" />

But even<n id="1" /> when Michael the archangel<n id="2" /> was arguing with the devil and debating with him<n id="3" /> concerning Moses&#8217; body, he did not dare to bring a slanderous judgment, but said, &#8220;May the Lord rebuke you!&#8221;
