Matt. 13:54–16:20 The Identity of the Messiah Revealed. This section marks a major new emphasis in Matthew's narrative as Jesus' messianic identity is increasingly clarified.

Matt. 15:1–39 Teacher of the Word of God and Compassionate Healer. Against the traditions of the Jewish elders (vv. 1–9), Jesus teaches on purity and impurity of the heart, showing himself to be the true teacher of God's Word (vv. 10–20) and the compassionate healer and provider for Gentiles (vv. 21–39).

Matt. 15:28 Although God's plan was to bring salvation first to his chosen Israel and then to Gentiles (see note on v. 24), he responds to all who call on him in true faith. This Gentile woman's attitude of humble faith allowed Jesus' healing ministry to operate.

Matt. 16:21–17:27 The Suffering of the Messiah Revealed. Jesus reveals the nature of his messiahship. He is a suffering Messiah, and those who are his disciples must suffer with him (16:21–28). Still, the transfiguration (17:1–13) discloses who Jesus really is: the Son of God. And believers, who are themselves sons of the kingdom, are free from the old era of the law (17:14–27).

Matt. 17:14–27 Sons of the Kingdom. Through the healing and exorcism of an epileptic boy, Jesus shows the contrast between defective and effective faith (vv. 14–20). Jesus also teaches that his impending death will come through betrayal (vv. 22–23) and that the OT law has no claim on him or his disciples (vv. 24–27).
