In the biblical tradition revelation from God is frequently
mediated through certain gifted individuals. Disclosure and
hiddenness are both integral to revelation and this study explores
how Matthew presents Jesus as a true discerner of revelation and
how he seeks to persuade his readrs to accept the truth of his
claim. Discemment of revelation is a significant motif running
through Matthew's Gospel, relating closely to other aspects of his
theological dynamic. This is explored by examining the background
in the Old Testament and early Jewish literature, model discemment
(Jesus), fragile discemment (Peter) and failed discernment
(opponents). A general composition critical approach is taken,
although insights from literary criticism are also used, especially
to explore literary devices familiar in the apocalyptic and wisdom
traditions which Matthew uses as persuasive tools.
