Laws were so complex that five laws could be broken while trying to obey one. Jesus came. He talked of the God of Law, What is the greatest law? First love God, then your neighbour, as illustrated in "The Good Samaritan." The despised outsider unrecognized by the Jews picked up the needy man and paid the 'tab.'
