Your Law requires two witnesses to prove that something is true.
Before you are convicted of a crime, at least two witnesses must be able to testify that you did it.
If two or more witnesses accused someone of breaking the Law of Moses, that person could be put to death.
But if that one refuses to listen, take along one or two others. The Scriptures teach that every complaint must be proven true by two or more witnesses.
In fact, the Law was to be our teacher until Christ came. Then we could have faith and be acceptable to God.
I am on my way to visit you for the third time. And as the Scriptures say, “Any charges must be proved true by at least two or three witnesses.”
My two witnesses will wear sackcloth, while I let them preach for 1,260 days.
Some of you would like to be under the rule of the Law of Moses. But do you know what the Law says?
We believe what people tell us. But we can trust what God says even more, and God is the one who has spoken about his Son.
This is why the Scriptures are true when they say, “People hated me for no reason.”
Jesus replied: In your Scriptures doesn't God say, “You are gods”?
Death is the penalty for murder. But no one accused of murder can be put to death unless there are at least two witnesses to the crime.
