Abstract

In this article, the author examines the function of the quotation from Ps 78:2 in the Gospel of Matthew.
After outlining the original Hebrew context of the verse, he compares it with its ancient Greek translations. Next, the author presents the textual form and meaning of Ps 78:2
in its new context of Mt 13:35. Finally, he examines the meaning of the verse for the entire first Gospel, with particular emphasis on Matthew’s use of the term παραβολή and his theological concept concerning the identity of Jesus, based on five marked quotations from the
Psalms.
