The heavenly voice in the Matthean account of Jesus’ baptism is a composite citation, which echoes two Old Testament passages (Psalm 2:7 & Isaiah 42:1-4). The baptism of Jesus can be taken as his commissioning for the messianic mission. At the time of baptism Jesus is identified as the King and the Servant. When Matthew combines these two themes he portrays Jesus as the King with a difference: Jesus is the king who would fulfill the mission as the Servant of Yahweh.

This book attempts to investigate the significance of the composite citation in the Matthean account of Jesus’ baptism for an understanding of the Christology in Matthew’s gospel. Examining the King-Servant Christology in the composite citation in the Matthean account of Jesus’ baptism, it presents an analysis of the King-Servant Christology in the heavenly voice, which is given in the composite citation in Mt. 3:17, followed by a discussion on the different views of the scholars on the composite citation.

Further exploring the King-Servant Christology in the Matthean account of Jesus’ transfiguration, it brings out the King-Servant Christology in the Matthean accounts of Jesus’ teaching, preaching and healing. Finally, it analyzes the King-Servant theme in the passion narrative in Matthew’s gospel (Mt. 26-27).
