“It is written.”

So, where, besides a coupleof places when Christ was in the desert being tempted, and when He was tossing the money-changers out of the temple, did He say, “It is written”?

Those are the only places I’ve been able to find in the KJV, where CHRIST said it. Of course, He also said, “Ye have heard it said,” but that is not the same as “It is written.”

Someone posted those Scriptures. I forget what thread.

I have it on disk. Maybe later.

BTW, which part of

The NEW TESTAMENT = THE WORD OF GOD

is difficult to understand?

[small voice in the wilderness]

"...Christ also loved the Church, and gave Himself for it; That He might SANCTIFY AND CLEANSE IT WITH THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD, That He might present it to Himself a glorious Church, NOT HAVING SPOT, OR WRINKLE, OR ANY SUCH THING; BUT THAT IT SHOULD BE HOLY AND WITHOUT BLEMISH." (Eph. 5:25-27).

It's The WORD that sanctifies, makes holy, and without blemish.

Jesus said 'it is written' at least 20 times in the Gospels...Referring of course to the O.T...

'It is written' was spoken over 60 times in the NT alone...80 times in the scriptures...

Jesus never once said, 'ye have heard it said'...Jesus wasn't much on here-say or rumor...
