Matthew 5:19-20 (New International Version)
19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. |
Why does Jesus say we have to surpasse Pharisees? Jesus called them hypocrites and many other names. |

The Pharasees were hypocrits, they were self-righteous and hypocrits because they were particular respecting the little requirements of the Law, but were careless respecting the spirit of love. In that respect we need to surpass them in their poor examples.
