Thank you so much Lars; that was exactly what I was looking for. This appears to offer us the ability to refute the argument that Y'shua was doing away or superseding Torah with his own "New Testament" rules. There is a beautiful match when we consider that Y'shua's teaching was establishing a fence against this Torah prohibition below more so than just looking lustfully at women (not to say that it's a good idea):
"You do not covet your neighbour's wife..."
Deuteronomy 5:21, Exodus 20:17
