摘要:The usage of the Old Testament texts in the New Testament books is the subject of great debate among biblical scholars. One of the great difficulties in this area of biblical studies is Matthew’s use of Hosea 11:1. The text of Mt 2:15 reads: »Out of Egypt I called my son.« This paper aims to provide an overview of the different visions of the problem and to display some efforts of the contemporary scholars regarding its possible solutions. The aim of this article is not to give any solution, but rather to present the problems more clearly so that they may raise interest in further investigation of its significance for understanding of Matthew’s usage of Hosea in his Gospel. The special attention is addressed to consideration of the usage of Hos 1:11 within the context of Matthew’s Christology, in which fulfilment of the messianic prophetic proclamation has a key role. Different conclusions and sometimes contradictory solution suggestions regarding why and how Matthew uses Hosea’s text in his Gospel is an indication that the problem discussed in this paper is neither small nor insignificant.
