Notes

Even the way Jesus taught fulfilled prophecies from the Old Testament. Psalm 78:2–3 talks about sharing the history of God's revelation with future generations. What Jesus revealed in his teachings are the most important part of that history (Matthew 13:10–17; 1 Corinthians 2:7).

In the third major speech recorded by Matthew (see study note on Matthew 5:1–7:29), Jesus here recognized the separation of his followers from others (Matthew 13:14, 16). He began to reveal the secrets of the kingdom of heaven privately to them through parables.
