{{Main|Christian views on the Old Covenant}}

In the [[Gospel of Matthew]], [[Jesus]] cited Deuteronomy 6:5 as a [[Great Commandment]]. The [[List of early Christian writers|earliest Christian authors]] interpreted Deuteronomy's prophecy of the restoration of Israel as having been fulfilled (or [[Supersessionism|superseded]]) in Jesus Christ and the establishment of the [[Christian Church]] (Luke 1–2, Acts 2–5), and Jesus was interpreted to be the "one (i.e., prophet) like me" predicted by Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15 (Acts 3:22–23). While the exact position of [[Paul the Apostle and Judaism]] is still debated, a common view is that in place of [[mitzvah]] set out in Deuteronomy, [[Paul the Apostle]], drawing on Deuteronomy 30:11–14, claimed that the keeping of the [[Mosaic covenant]] was superseded by faith in Jesus and the gospel (the [[New Covenant]]).<ref>McConville, p.24</ref>
