Jewish believers who knew their Old Testament
To prove that Jesus is the promised who fulfills Old Testament

Matthew 6 — Stop Doing It for the 'Gram
The guy who literally baptized Jesus is sitting in prison wondering if He got the wrong Messiah — and Jesus doesn't roast him for it, He just points to the receipts.

Matthew 16 — The Rock, The Keys, and The Plot Twist Nobody Wanted
