Denny- I heartily recommend Bill Loader's book- "Jesus' Attitude Towards
the Law". Bill therein discusses every possible NT ref. to Jesus and the
law, as well as extra-biblical materials. On page 192f Bill covers Mt 9:9-13.
Regarding grammar- your interpretation is as likely as any- and in fact it
is my own view as well.
Best,
Jim
