Since Christ has replaced the law the Pharisees need to come to Christ. The law was a child conductor and no longer required as they could have Christ.
Jesus did tell them to have Christ when He said "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and
you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life. John 5:39-40
As pertains to the law, the Pharisees should have kept both the small and weightier matters of the law. It was their child conductor and they were teachers of it. However, once Christ came they should have come to Him. Only He fulfilled the law, and kept it perfectly and it is by His perfect life living in us that we can live a life that is satisfying to God, a life that fulfills all the righteous requirements of the law.
How about now alb? You agree?
