09 Cross-Reference Analysis — Matthew (German)

#	Matthew ref	OT/NT ref	Relationship	German rendering note	Risk
1	Matthew 1:23	Isaiah 7:14	Virgin shall conceive, Immanuel	Direct quotation; “Siehe, eine Jungfrau wird schwanger sein” — foundational incarnation prooftext.	Critical
2	Matthew 2:6	Micah 5:2	Bethlehem, ruler to come from you	Direct quotation establishing Davidic/messianic birthplace.	High
3	Matthew 4:4, 7, 10	Deuteronomy 8:3; 6:16; 6:13	Jesus’ three temptation responses	Direct quotations; keep each of the three Deuteronomy citations distinct and precisely matched.	High
4	Matthew 5:21, 27, 31, 33, 38, 43	Exodus 20:13-14; Deuteronomy 24:1; Leviticus 19:12; Exodus 21:24; Leviticus 19:18	The six antitheses’ Torah citations	Each citation must render per standard German Decalogue/Torah convention (Luther’s Small Catechism numbering) before Jesus’ intensifying “but I say to you.”	Critical
5	Matthew 21:5	Zechariah 9:9	The king comes on a donkey	Direct quotation for the triumphal entry; “Siehe, dein König kommt zu dir sanftmütig.”	Medium
6	Matthew 21:42	Psalm 118:22-23	The stone the builders rejected	Direct quotation in the wicked-tenants parable’s conclusion.	High
7	Matthew 22:37-39	Deuteronomy 6:5; Leviticus 19:18	The greatest commandment	Shared-citation verbatim-match rule: must render identically to Romans 13:9 and Galatians 5:14.	Critical
8	Matthew 24:15	Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11	The abomination of desolation	Direct allusion; keep the Danielic background explicit, avoid speculative contemporary application.	High
9	Matthew 27:9-10	Zechariah 11:12-13; Jeremiah 19 (conflated)	Thirty pieces of silver, the potter’s field	A composite citation (Matthew attributes it to Jeremiah though it draws mainly on Zechariah); render faithfully without attempting to silently correct the attribution.	Medium
