In addition to being oppressed by the Roman Empire, Matthew’s community may have been a Jewish minority who experienced rejection and perhaps persecution from Israel’s majority.↵

Also interesting is Matthew’s use of the master-slave relationship as an analogy (perhaps further evidence for the double consciousness that Lynne St. Clair Darden speaks about in “Privilege but No Power: Women in the Gospel of Matthew and Nineteenth-Century African American Women Missionaries through a Postcolonial Lens” in this volume) for the relationship between the disciple and his teacher. In Matthew, the student does not exceed the teacher, as in John’s Gospel (14:12), but it is sufficient “for the disciple to be like the teacher.” (10:24-25; cf. 6:24).↵
