{Shall exceed} (perisseus(8869) pleion). Overflow like a river
out of its banks and then Jesus adds "more" followed by an
unexpressed ablative (	(8873) dikaiosun(8873)), brachylogy. A daring
statement on Christ's part that they had to be better than the
rabbis. They must excel the scribes, the small number of regular
teachers ( 5:21-48 ), and the Pharisees in the Pharisaic life
( 6:1-18 ) who were the separated ones, the orthodox pietists.
