You forgot the next verse, and so you have taken it out of context.

18He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

19Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

Do you see here, Jesus is telling us that NONE can live the law. Jesus offers himself in sacrifice so that we may do good works through him and not by our own effort. BECAUSE

“Do you see here, Jesus is telling us that NONE can live the law. Jesus offers himself in sacrifice so that we may do good works through him and not by our own effort. BECAUSE”

Nice commentary. Not the words of Jesus. Where does he say none can live the law? To the group he is addressing he says that they don’t follow the law of Moses. He is also saying that they are trying to kill him. If you follow your logic, then all mankind would attempt to kill Jesus? Woah, John, Peter, and all the apostles went out to kill him.
