Doctrine of the Lord # 10
10. In the broadest sense the Law means the whole of the Word. This can be seen from the following passages:
Jesus (said), “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, “You are gods” ’”? (John 10:34)
This is written in Psalms 82:6.
The people answered..., “We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains to eternity....” (John 12:34)
This is written in Psalms 89:29, 110:4, Daniel 7:11, 14.
...that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their Law, “They hated Me without a cause.” (John 15:25)
This is written in Psalms 35:19.
(The Pharisees said,) “Have any of the rulers...believed in Him? But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed.” (John 7:48-49)
It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the Law to fall. (Luke 16:17)
The Law there means the entire Holy Scripture.

The multitude answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. How do you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"
