It’s actually exactly this quote that they claim supports the argument that the coming of Jesus overrides the old laws. Not that they are eliminated, but that they are “fulfilled” by/through him. This is often interpreted to mean that where he specifies, they are changed or replaced through him. Such as declaring all foods clean, change from the vengeful “eye for an eye” to the pacifist “turn the other cheek”, expanded adultery to include lustful thoughts, etc.
I’m not arguing in favor of this interpretation because it’s all fiction anyway. But that is the common Canon.

Stop arguing against me, per God.

“Stand up in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the Lord.”
