In each case (in Matthew) there is no mere parallel being drawn: there is eschatological transcendence. That, Jesus, for example, is not merely another great Solomon: He is “greater than Solomon” (12:42). Likewise, He is “greater than the temple” (12:6), “greater than Jonah” (12:41). In the mist of all this, the clear implication is that He is also David’s greater son (12:3-4); in fact, this is precisely Jesus’ point in 22:45. Further, He is “Lord even of the Sabbath” (12:8). Similarly, Jesus is not merely a son of Abraham, privileged as that is. He is the son of Abraham par excellence, the one in whom the patriarchal promises reach their goal (1:1). He is not simply a representative of Israel – He is the true Israel (2:15, 16-18). His name is “Joshua,” but He is greater than His forebear and brings a greater deliverance: “for He shall save His people from their sins” (1:21). Moreover, it would have been very wrong to erect booths for Moses, Elijah, and Jesus: these two other men, great as they were, deserve no equal place with Jesus. “Hear Him” was the word from Heaven (17:5). He is greater than Elijah and greater than Moses – greater than the prophets and even the law itself.

76:1 ¶ (76:1) Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Sòm Asaf sa a, se yon chante li ye. (76:2) Yo konnen ki moun Bondye ye nan tout peyi Jida. Se tout moun k’ap nonmen non l’ nan peyi Izrayèl.

76:2 (76:3) Li gen kay li lavil Salèm, li rete sou mòn Siyon.

76:3 (76:4) Se la li te kase flèch yo, se la li te kase zam yo gen pou defann yo, ak zam yo gen pou atake. Wi, li kase tout zam moun sèvi pou fè lagè.

76:4 (76:5) Gade jan ou gen pouvwa, Bondye! Gade jan w’ap mache tèt wo, lè w’ap desann soti nan mòn kote ou te kraze lènmi ou yo!

76:5 (76:6) Sòlda ki te gen anpil kouraj nan lagè pèdi tout zafè yo. Koulye a y’ap dòmi nèt, yo mouri. Pa gen yonn nan vanyan gason sa yo ki te ka defann tèt yo.

76:6 (76:7) Aa, Bondye Jakòb! Depi ou fè va sou yo, ni kavalye ni chwal, yo tout yo tonbe, yo mouri frèt.

76:7 ¶ (76:8) Men ou menm, ou fè moun respekte ou! Kilès ki ka rete kanpe devan ou lè ou an kòlè?

76:8 (76:9) Ou rete nan syèl la, ou fè konnen jan w’ap jije. Tout moun ki sou latè rete dousman tèlman yo pè,

76:9 (76:10) lè Bondye leve pou bay santans li, pou l’ delivre tout malere y’ap peze sou tè a.

76:10 (76:11) Menm lè lèzòm an kòlè, sa sèvi yon lwanj pou ou. Moun ou sove anba lanmò va fè fèt pou ou.

76:11 (76:12) Fè pwomès ou bay Seyè a ki Bondye, epi kenbe pawòl ou. Nou menm, tout nasyon ki bò kote l’ yo, pote kado bay Bondye ki fè moun respekte l’ la.

76:12 (76:13) Li kraze lògèy chèf yo, li fè wa latè yo respekte l’.
