Read it in context, dont stop there carry on. You will see Jesus is clearly addressing the scribes and the Pharisees.
In context its says " spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples". The multitude and his disciples also heard what he said to the scribes and the Pharisees in verses 13 onward.

let’s read Isaiah 61.
(Isaiah 61:6-11)
You shall be named a Priest. In I Peter 2:9, we find out that this is true. We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and a purchased people. This verse goes on and tells us one of the things that Priest need to do.
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: (1 Peter 2:9)
OT Priest offered Blood sacrifices for the people and had to be of the seed of Aaron. 1 Peter 2:9 means that Christians are now all priest so we have no need of earthly priest. Seems some can't understand this concept.
