Chapters: Matthew 14–17
Matthew 14–17 continues with miracles and key moments of revelation. These chapters include the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus walking on water, debates over tradition, Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Messiah, and the Transfiguration. The Transfiguration, witnessed by Peter, James, and John, echoes imagery from Moses and Elijah traditions, connecting Jesus to Israel’s prophetic history. The section marks a turning point as Jesus begins to speak more explicitly about His coming suffering and death.
