A combination of methods is used (backgrounds, exegesis, and inter-textual) to arrive at the conclusion that Matthew perceives the healing of blind and lame in the temple as fulfilment of the Old Testament prophecies about the return of the glory of God and what it implies in the worship.entriumphal entryexclusionpurityShekinah gloryArticle
