At the time of Jesus the phrase "the Law and the Prophets" referred to their entire Scriptures. (They had not yet decided which books belonged on the list of "Writings," which we call the Wisdom books.) So when Jesus says that he has come not to abolish the Law and the Prophets but to fulfill them,(Matthew 5:17) he means that he completes all of the Scriptures.
