It is the subject of the book of Hebrews near the end of the New Testament. Due to the complexity of the question, it would be difficult to find just one verse that states the whole thing. That is why God included an entire book on the subject. Read it for the answer.
If I had to give only one verse, Jesus in Matthew 5:17 states that he has come, not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it. The writer of Hebrews shows how Jesus fulfilled the law, those making it so that it is no longer in force for Christians. Once you complete a contract, it is no longer in force.

I don't remember the exact Book, Chapter, and Verse of where he said it. But He said he had come to fulfill the old testiment (my wording) not destroy it. Which means he was here to fulifll the laws of the old testiment not do away with them.

Matthew 22:36-40 = 36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Get that?
All the law, not only the ten commandments, but everything in Levitticus, and the whole Talmud 'hang on' and are fulfilled by following these two commandments.
To get these answers yourself, go to www.crosswalk.com, get to the search page, and search for a phrase that you remember that is in the answer to your question (for this one, I used 'Love your neighbor'), in the New Testament (or the Old, or the whole bible), and search!
This ennables you to get your answer, read the context, read the commentaries....and not bother people here with questions, that from the first few answers you got, they are annoyed at having to answer.

King James Version:
'Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? John 7:19
You'd have to read The New Testament though to see how the ten commandments are treated. For instance, I remember Jesus saying something like, it's OK to work on the sabbath if it's for a good reason... like doctor's saving peoples lives. I think there are exceptions if it is righteous.

Jesus did not end the law he fullfilled the law,when he died on the cross,so thats when the new testiment came into effect.....Scripture is "I came not to destroy the law but to fullfill the law which was spoken of Prophets .....this was Jesus speaking ,I will have to find where its at,I have read it many times but can,t put my finger on it right now...The old testiment was the book of Law which the prophets of old went by..When Jesus came and died on the cross he fullfilled the law,so we are no longer under bondage but free......He set the captive free....

He didn't "end" them, He fulfilled them.
The Old Testament is really about God's holiness, and man's inadequacy to be reconciled to God. It points to our need for a Savior.
In the Old Testament alone, there are 456 prophecies that Jesus Christ alone fulfilled. He alone kept the Law perfectly. Paul calls Jesus the "second Adam," in that the first Adam brought a curse, and the second Adam lifted the curse on all who belong to Him. (Cf. Romans 5:12ff, I Corinthians 15:22-45)
Further, the Old Testament is now our teacher, or tutor, to show us the righteousness and holiness of God, and how we have broken God's laws. (Cf. Galatians 3:24ff)
Jesus says that the Law and the Prophets are summed up by this: "You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and most important commandment. The second is like it: 'You must love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commandments." (Matthew 22:37-40)

You have a couple different issues going on here.
Jesus came to fulfill the laws, not abolish them (Matt. 5:17,18), yet Acts 15 clearly teaches that most of the laws do not apply to Gentile believers (most of us today).
Please do not forget that most of the Bible is written to a Jewish audience, so only a little is specifically targetted at Gentiles.

considering that Jesus sacrificed his existence for our sins, by his fathers will, his resurrection raised what's stated because of the fact the "New Convenant" which wiped away each and every of the previous practices (sacrificing of animals, and so on..) and grew to become into replaced via the ten commandments. you ought to have the skill to locate a number of those readings in Hebrews or Corinthians. good good fortune on your religious readings!

No, Jesus was caught red handed breaking the sabbath, and letting his diciples break it, He should have been stoned to death then, but clever as he was, he slick talked his way out of it better than bill clinton. He said: THe Sabbath was made for man, and not man for th esabbath, this caused the Jews to question the law, and start breaking it themselves.. Was man made for the law, or was the law made for man?
