Matthew 27:62-64
[Picking up from last
week ...]
62 Now on the next
day, which is the one
after the preparation,
the chief priests and
the Pharisees
gathered together
with Pilate,
James Tissot
63 and said, “Sir, we
remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, ‘After three days I am to
rise again.’
64 “Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day,
lest the disciples come and steal Him away and say to the people, ‘He has risen
from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

Matthew 27:65-66
65 Pilate said to them, “You have
a guard; go, make it as secure
as you know how.”
66 And they went and made the
grave secure, and along with the
guard they set a seal on the
stone.
•Hagner, “There are two
miscalculations here. Both
Pilate and the Pharisees ...
•Underestimate Jesus
•Overestimate the disciples

Matthew 28:2-6
2 And behold, a severe earthquake had
occurred, for an angel of the Lord
descended from heaven and came and
rolled away the stone and sat upon it.
3 And his appearance was like
lightning, and his garment as white as
snow;
4 and the guards shook for fear of him,
and became like dead men.
5 And the angel answered and said to
the women, “Do not be afraid; for I
know that you are looking for Jesus
who has been crucified.
6 “He is not here, for He has risen, just
as He said. Come, see the place where
He was lying.

Matthew 28:7-10
7 “And go quickly and tell
His disciples that He has
risen from the dead; and
behold, He is going before
you into Galilee, there you
will see Him; behold, I
have told you.”
8 And they departed
quickly from the tomb with
fear and great joy and ran
to report it to His disciples.
9 And behold, Jesus met
them and greeted them.
And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.
10 Then Jesus *said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren
to leave for Galilee, and there they shall see Me.”

Matthew 28:11-15
11 Now while they were on their
way, behold, some of the guard
came into the city and reported to
the chief priests all that had
happened.
12 And when they had assembled
with the elders and counseled
together, they gave a large sum of
money to the soldiers,
13 and said, “You are to say, ‘His
disciples came by night and stole
Him away while we were asleep.’
14 “And if this should come to the governor’s ears, we will win him over and
keep you out of trouble.”
15 And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story
was widely spread among the Jews, and is to this day.

Matthew 28:16-20
16 But the eleven disciples proceeded
to Galilee, to the mountain which
Jesus had designated.
17 And when they saw Him, they
worshiped Him; but some were
doubtful.
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to
them, saying, “All authority has been
given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 “Go therefore and make disciples of
all the nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and the Son and
the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I
commanded you; and lo, I am with you
always, even to the end of the age.”

Final Exam Questions
How does a view of Matthew’s gospel as “occasional literature” versus
“history for history’s sake” affect its interpretation? The “occasional
approach” ...
• Demands the “occasion” (purpose, provenance, etc.) for writing be
made explicit; e.g.,
• Matthew was written for a Jewish-Christian community who saw
Jesus as the embodiment of Torah
• Allows for a more satisfying explanation of historical difficulties; e.g.,
• Differences among the gospels are more differences of occasion than
of history (e.g., genealogies of Matthew versus Luke)
• Opens up the possibility of passages being performative rather than
simply informative; e.g.,
• Exaggerated claims for faith would function as a brake on boasting
• Relativizes literary context vis-à-vis historical context; e.g.,
• Sermon on Mount would apply to the Christian “dispensation”

Final Exam Questions
How does the notion of the church as the “inbreaking” of God’s future
rule into the present fit the gospel of Matthew?
• The church as inbreaking kingdom is more an outcome of systematic
theology than explicit Matthean theology
• Even so, Matthew fits the concept very well; e.g.,
• The end-times Messiah has come
• End-times salvation is at hand
• The end-times restoration of Law has occurred
• The end-times cleansing of the Temple has been accomplished
• The end-times cleansing from sin (baptism) is present
• The end-times banquet (Lord’s supper) has been instituted
• The end-times resurrection has already begun

Final Exam Questions
How do NT writers (including Matthew) use the OT?
• Not straightforward as commonly supposed; e.g.,
• Mt 2:15, "Out of Egypt I called my son" (cf. Hos 11:1 on the Exodus)
• Mt 2:18, "A voice is heard in Ramah....” (cf. Jer 31:15 about the Entry
into Captivity)
• An explanation for how the NT uses of the OT include ...
• Reflects Jewish way of making earlier truths relevant to later times;
e.g., “you were there” (even though they weren’t), Dt 5:1-4; and “was
it not written altogether for our sakes,” 1 Cor 9:10
• Accords with the idea that the present can be “read back” onto the
past; e.g., Levi paid tithes through Abraham (Heb 7:10)
• Is performative in laying claim to the OT as Christian scripture
• Thus, Matthew can say, “scribe instructed in kingdom ...” (Mt 13:52)
• NT writers did not have to go to the OT for the mind of God– they
already had it!

22
Final Exam Questions
Explain Matthew’s view of the church in terms of a “contrast community.”
• Overcoming evil rather than simply resisting it (e.g., Mt 5:39-41)
• Renunciation of violence (e.g., Mt 26:52)
• Forgiveness and reconciliation vs. life centered on the courtroom (e.g.,
the “six antitheses”)
• Servant-leadership vs. lording over others (e.g., Mt 20:25-28)
• Divine reversal through God’s initiative (e.g., the Beatitudes) vs. human
action (e.g., Mt 12:43-45).
• Also see Mt 8:10-12, “many will come from the east and west, and
recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of
heaven; but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer
darkness....”
• Real righteousness vs. hypocrisy (e.g., Mt 7:21-23)

23
Final Exam Questions
Demonstrate Matthew’s special interest in Peter and offer a possible
explanation.
• Examples include “thou art Peter”– Mt 16:18; “the first Simon” – Mt
10:2; Peter walking on water – Mt 14:28ff; the two-drachma tax – Mt
17:24ff; the limits of forgiveness – Mt 18:21ff
• The Gospel of Matthew may have originated in Syrian Antioch, site of
the confrontation between Peter and Paul described in Gal 2:11
• Earliest allusions to Matthew’s gospel were by Ignatius of Antioch
• The Matthean community may have been roiled by factions that used
Peter and Paul as their unwilling standard bearers
• Matthew’s gospel may in part reflect an attempt to chart a middle path
between the two factions; i.e., preserving Gentile inclusion along with
preeminence of Jews and Jewish law-keeping
• Hence favorable estimations of Gentiles; e.g., Mt 8:10-12; 21:43
• Hence also Matthew’s special interest in Peter
