I feel there's a loophole in that last sentence. The average persons righteousness has surpassed the Pharisees and teachers of the law. Definitely in modern times, they just got more corrupt.
That's a fair point, I also would definitely consider myself more "righteous" than some slave-driving barbarians. I'm not sure that's what Jesus (allegedly) had in mind though.
It's actually an interesting chapter, in the same verses Jesus tells people to be forgiving, love your enemies and turn the other cheek (while in the verses cited above seemingly endorsing the orgy of violence, oppression, retribution and murder that is Old Testament law), and also that a woman who wants to divorce a man who repeatedly rapes and abuses her will burn in hell.
