This is probably the way that some came up with the alternate explanation that there is the law and prophets, and the commentary (referring to the OT). It is mostly the same in the NT. Jesus said and did. Everyone else has commented. Not saying there is no value in the comments. It is part of the scripture. But it is not there to provide something entirely new, but to explain what was God's speaking and doing into the lives of the people who began to follow.

And explanations do not create prescriptions about something that the source never commented on. Not in any field of study or inquiry.
