The Law (12:34). âThe Lawâ may refer to the Hebrew Scriptures in their entirety rather than merely to the five books of Moses (cf. 10:34; 15:25).
ROMAN CROSS

The Christ will remain forever (12:34). Palestinian Judaism in Jesusâ day generally thought of the Messiah as triumphant, and frequently also as eternal. Such expectations were rooted in the Son of David, of whom it was said that God would âestablish the throne of his kingdom foreverâ (2 Sam. 7:13; cf. John 12:16). This prospect was nurtured both in the Psalms (e.g., Ps. 61:6â7; 89:3â4, 35â37) and prophetic literature (Isa. 9:7; Ezek. 37:25; cf. Dan. 7:13â14). It was also affirmed in intertestamental Jewish writings (Pss. Sol. 17:4; Sib. Or. 3:49â50; 1 En. 62:14) and at the outset of Lukeâs Gospel (Luke 1:33).
Perhaps the closest parallel to the present passage is Psalm 89:37, where Davidâs seed is said to âremain foreverâ (LXX: menei eis ton aiÅna). Notably, this psalm is interpreted messianically both in the New Testament (Acts 13:22; Rev. 1:5) and rabbinic sources (Gen. Rab. 97, linking Gen. 49:10; 2 Sam. 7:16; Ps. 89:29). But probably Jesus refers not so much to any one passage but to the general thrust of Old Testament messianic teaching. Elsewhere in John, people express the expectation of a Davidic Messiah born at Bethlehem (John 7:42) and of a hidden Messiah to be revealed at the proper time (7:27; cf. 1:26).
