This week's text serves as a bit of a bridge between two dramatic encounters involving Jesus and the Pharisees. Matthew placed it here to bring the reader's attention toward more fully understanding the overall purpose of Jesus' earthly ministry. Through it, we get a better idea of why Jesus responds so differently than how we might have expected.
