Jesus is God Jesus answered, “It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Matthew 5:17 • the Scripture cannot be broken— • John 10:35 Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. John 17:17
