There are several passages in Matthew 5 that begin with Jesus saying “You have heard… but I say to you…” Jesus is not compelling his audience to do a better job keeping the commandments. He has an entirely different motivation than the Pharisees. He wants people to change their thought process about what it means to be God’s children.
