This section of Matthew’s Gospel is especially concerned about authenticity - saying what you. Mean, doing what you say. The death of any religion, indeed anything proposing reform an ideals in life, hinges on the proponent being coherent in presenting view which the proponent him or herself is a living example of how it is done. Such end-to-end coherence is the only antidote to hypocrisy which Jesus in Matthew’s Gospel is especially tentiveto killing.
