I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.... the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Now, the above Very Very clearly state that one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
There is an incident in John 8:1-11, whereby some Pharisees broght to him an woman who committed adultery and asked him what to do as Moses' law said she should be stoned. Jesus said "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her." Hearing this, they felt guilty and one by one left the place leaving Jesus alone. When Jesus saw no one there he asked if nobeody condemned her and she replied no. So he let her go off.
Jesus EXPLICITLY said in Mat 5:17-19 that he came not to break but fulfill the law. He even mentioned that not one jot will pass from the law. Then, why did he allow the adultress to go? Did he not break the law?
Please answer based on the situation above. Based on Mat 5:17-19, did Jesus break the law?
