Ok. But when it comes to matters of the Law, the jurisprudence, the Pharisees were spot on. They were sitting in Moses' seat, a metaphor meaning they knew the Law.

So their teachings of the Law were correct but more importantly, Jesus told his disciples to do what the Pharisees were telling them on matters of the Law, which you have discarded. Who told you to discard the Law?

Just to respect the scribes and Pharisees due to their position of authority but not to emulate them....and it does not necessarily means that they are teaching the right stuffs!
