-Start with Jewish people but then go to Gentiles, that the way to God is via Jesus who fufills all the scripture and laws
Structure
-There are five major chunks of the discourse of Jesus (chapter 5-7; 10; 13; 18 and 23-25)
- J. Kingsbury said: Another marker of structure is the use of the phrase “From that time on Jesus began to” in 4:17 and 16:21--Matthew 1:1–4:16 then becomes the Gospel’s introduction; 4:17–16:20, its body; and 16:21–28:20, the conclusion.
