The Chiasm of Matthew 19:16-22
A chiasm is a literary structure where the themes of the first section of a passage are repeated in reverse order in the second. The center of the chiasm is typically the climax of the passage. In Matthew 19:16-22, the center is the list of the commandments (Matt 19:18-20). https://www.howthebiblefitstogether.org/files/Matt-19.16-22a-Chiasm.pdf
