		+	Matthew demonstrates his observance of the prostitute/virgin bride motif or pattern found in the OT. It would be wrong to assume that Mark/Peter was unaware of the circumstances of Jesus's birth. The disciples surely shared their knowledge among each other as they recollected the happenings. But the time of Mark's book, they had not correlated those events with the scriptures, and did not see why those details were important to the fulfillment of prophecy.
		+
	The referent of this pattern is the church which is described as both a prostitute and a virgin. God's people have the sin nature which makes them to be their own god, yet Christ makes the church his spotless bride. Matthew uses Mary as his example since she is a part of the literal life of Christ which is also a prophecy of the bride of Christ. If all things speak of Christ, then they look like each other sometimes.		The referent of this pattern is the church which is described as both a prostitute and a virgin.
