The presentation will analyse the possible interpretative solutions proposed by the exegetes to the crux interpretum of Matthew 23:2-3. The Saviour''s statement that the scribes and Pharisees “sit on the seat of Moses” is not intended to be an endorsement of their authority to interpret the Law, but, recognizing the reality in which the disciples lived and were to serve, they must fulfil and learn the commandments, they must know what Moses says. The scribes and Pharisees, although they were the keepers of the Torah in the social and religious environment in which these disciples lived, no longer had the authority to teach because it was given to the Church.
Keywords: The Seat of Moses, Gospel of Matthew, Jesus, Law, Scribes, Pharisees
