Intertekstualna funkcja cytatu z Księgi Ozeasza w Mateuszowej Ewangelii Dzieciństwa

A detailed intertextual analysis of the links between Mt 2:13-15 and theLucan text of Acts 3 leads to the conclusion that the text of Mt 2:13-15 isan outcome of a strictly sequential, but on the other hand a highly creativereworking of the ideas, motifs, and key words which occur in Acts 3.Therefore, it can be argued that the quotation from LXX Hos 11:1, whichconcludes the text of Mt 2:13-15, was used and consciously modified byMatthew in order to illustrate intertextually the Lucan ideas which arecontained in the concluding part of Acts 3: the fulfilment in Jesus of thatwhich God foretold by the prophets (Acts 3:18,21), Jesus as the new Prophetlike Moses (Acts 3:22-24), and Jesus being in a particular relationship withGod (Acts 3:25-26).
