Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. (NASB)Traditional interpretation of the passage holds Jesus' intent with this passage is to assert He did not come to abolish, or annul the Law (Torah) or the Prophets, but rather to fulfill, or make them complete, and for many, if not most, bring the end to the Law as a matter of observation and practice.Historical, linguistic, and contextual evidence, however, suggests there is an alternate understanding of what Jesus meant when He uttered these words. Thus the alternate rendering is He came to correctly interpret the Law and the Prophets and provide their proper meaning.
