Literary structure (chiasmus, chiasm) of Gospel of Matthew

Chiasmus and Concentric Structure of divided by 5

Five centers in divided in five structures are "The law and the prophets" (no. 15, Mt. 5:17-20), "Jesus heals two blind men" (no. 44, Mt. 9:27-31), "The tradition of the elders" (no. 73, Mt. 15:1-20), "Jesus cleanses the temple" (no. 102, Mt. 21:12-17), and "Jesus before the high priest" (no. 131, Mt. 26:57-68). Those pericopes are related to validness of Old Testament, and Messiah (Son of David, Son of Man) described in Old Testament. These relationships of structures would emphasize Jesus as completion and fullfilment of Old Testament.
