Teşekkür ederim (thank you), Celal. I can accept almost everything 
Wright writes here. I agree with his aim that we should not "[see] the 
appropriation of the text as an act of unwarranted exegetical 
opportunism", and that "we can understand this text in a more wholistic 
way that largely vindicates Matthew's usage, without it coming at the 
cost of compromising the integrity of Isaiah's context". But I do wonder 
if Matthew's understanding of Isaiah was really as deep as Wright seems 
to think it was.
