The article discusses the inquiry into the circumlocution of God within the Gospel of Matthew and his Judaism period, especially in the Aramaic Targumim. It comments on the generic name of God found in the Holy Bible and in the New Testament, which was presented by the insights of Ernst Lohmeyer. It also focuses on the humanity of Christ, where a comparison is made between the Gospel of Mark and Matthew and suggests that Matthew's gospel does not center his work on the divinity of Christ.

The author argues that Matthew 27:39 does allude to Lamentations 2:15. The extensive presence of Psalm 22 throughout Matthew's depiction of crucifixion often leads scholars to conclude that Matthew's use of the phrase wagging the head in 27:39 also derives from Psalm 22. Matthew draws on Lamentations in his account of the events leading up to the crucifixion in order to portray Jesus' death as the primary act of righteous bloodshed by the hands of the religious authorities in Jerusalem.

This article focuses on the use of Greek manuscript tradition in Biblical interpretation and criticism, questioning the dominance of Greek textual primacy in New Testament criticism. An overview of versional and Patristic tradition used in textual criticism of Matthew 4:15-16 is given. Citations of Isaiah 9:1 in textual witness to Matthew 4:16 are mentioned. Comparative Jewish exegesis in Matthean scriptural citations are also provided.

In 1994, the author critiqued a 1971 statistical study of "Q" by Charles E. Carlston and Dennis Norlin. Their recent reply has necessitated both a further clarification of their study's most serious flaws and an independent statistical analysis using a method that avoids these flaws. Such an analysis demonstrates that Matthew and Luke do not preserve "Q" sayings any more faithfully than Markan sayings. This can still be interpreted in support of "Q" being a single written source, but it is important to recall that the degree of Matt-Luke verbatim agreement is much lower than Carlston & Norlin's figures imply.
