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 being given new accentuation 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. The work tries to show how Matthew has used the dominical parables and sayings found in his tradition to serve the needs of his community, especially in her struggles with the official Jewish leaders of his time. Through these parables, which he presented as a three-pronged attack against the Jewish leaders, he shows his community as the true Israel, called to produce the fruits of righteousness.}, subject = {Matth{\"a}usevangelium 21}, language = {en} }
