Michael Licona suggests that John has redacted Jesus' authentic statements as recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke. Where Matthew and Mark have Jesus quote Psalm 22:1, John records that "in order that the Scripture may be fulfilled, Jesus said, 'I am thirsty'."

Matthew 5:17 is the 17th verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament and is part of the Sermon on the Mount.One of the most debated verses in the gospel, this verse begins a new section on Jesus and the Torah, [1] where Jesus discusses the Law and the Prophets.

When they saw him, those who had known him as a blind beggar asked if this was the same man. Some said that he was, while others said, "No, he only looks like him." But the man himself said, "I am the man" (Greek: egō eimi, literally: "I am"). The remainder of the chapter relates the investigation of the miracle by the Pharisees.
There are a wide number of references to salt in the Old Testament. Leviticus 2:13, [ 7 ] Numbers 18:19, [ 8 ] and 2 Chronicles 13:5 [ 9 ] all present salt as a sign of God's covenant . Exodus 30:35, [ 10 ] Ezekiel 16:4 and 43:24, [ 11 ] and 2 Kings 2:21 [ 12 ] all present salt as a purifying agent.
