Paragraph 1. JESUS AND ISRAEL

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

581
The
Jewish people and their spiritual leaders viewed Jesus as a rabbi.³⁴⁰
He often argued within the framework of rabbinical interpretation of the
Law.³⁴¹ Yet Jesus could not help but offend the teachers of the Law,
for he was not content to propose his interpretation alongside theirs but
taught the people “as one who had authority, and not as their
scribes”.³⁴² In Jesus, the same Word of God that had resounded on
Mount Sinai to give the written Law to Moses, made itself heard anew on the
Mount of the Beatitudes.³⁴³ Jesus did not abolish the Law but fulfilled
it by giving its ultimate interpretation in a divine way: “You have heard
that it was said to the men of old. . . But I say to you. . .”³⁴⁴
With this same divine authority, he disavowed certain human traditions of the
Pharisees that were “making void the word of God”.³⁴⁵
