Yes, Jesus affirms what was already in the old testament. The new testament was written many, many years after Christ, by men who never even knew Jesus. I do not believe that anyone at that time even knew what Jesus 'intended'. It has also been speculated that Jesus did not plan to create a new religion or even consider himself as the long awaited messiah. He may have been a learned rabbi of the period, and nothing more. Food for thought!
