The Outline of Matthew's Gospel, IV

A GROWING DIVIDE (Mt 11-13)
Jesus begins to experience conflict from Israel’s religious leaders. At one point, Jesus prays, “I thank you, Father, that you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and revealed them to infants” (11:25-30). This leads to the Kingdom Parables Discourse, in which Jesus uses parables to describe how God’s rule infiltrates the world during this age.
