Paragraph 1. JESUS AND ISRAEL
579
This
principle of integral observance of the Law not only in letter but in spirit
was dear to the Pharisees. By giving Israel this principle they had led many
Jews of Jesus’ time to an extreme religious zeal.334 This zeal, were it

prepare the People for the unprecedented intervention of God through the
perfect fulfilment of the Law by the only Righteous One in place of all sinners.336
