The parables of Jesus have undergone different transmutations in
the long history of their transmission. The events surrounding his
death and resurrection as well as the new situations his followers
were confronted with after these events led to the parables of
Jesus being given new accentuations according to the needs of the
reflecting community. This is evident in Matthew's treatment of the
parable trilogy of Mt 21:28-22:14. This work shows how Matthew has
used the dominical parables and sayings found in his tradition to
serve the needs of his community, especially in its struggles with
the official Jewish leaders of his time. Through these parables,
which he presented as a three-pronged attack against the Jewish
leaders, Matthew shows his community as the true Israel, called to
produce the fruits of righteousness. In this regard, the Jewish
leaders stand for the members of Matthew's community lacking in the
actions that define belongingness to the chosen people. This group
has no part in the eschatological banquet.
