I also think of the Apostle Paul, who was zealous for the Law and couldn't accept the New Covenant which they called "the Way".
Acts 9:2
I think there were people who were selfish jerks and those that held so tightly to the Law that they would have laid down their life for it as Saul/Paul appeared to be prepared to do later. He was assuredly protecting the LAW against the Way at all costs.
