    1. sure, but all that matters is whether the legalistic interpretation of Mathew 23:3 is reasonable. There is no intellectual compulsion on a skeptic to 'reconcile' any statement of Jesus with every other statement in the bible.

      There is no rule of historiography, hermeneutics or common sense that requires that we first make all attempts to harmonize everything anybody ever said and avoid charging them with contradiction until after all harmonization attempts prove to have failed. And Jesus seems to have created an alternative form of Judaism, the kind that pretends to uphold all the laws while not really upholding all the laws.
