Connections around Matthew 2:18
Matthew 2:18 quotes Jeremiah 31:15
Direct quotationHigh confidenceMatthew quotes Jeremiah's picture of Rachel weeping for her children to describe the grief of Bethlehem after Herod's killing of the boys.
Evidence:Other responsible views
- Jeremiah's context is the exile: In Jeremiah the weeping is for the exiles led away from Ramah, and the chapter goes on to promise their return. Matthew's use evokes both the grief and the hope of that chapter.
