Jesus as Rabbi

came across this article abt "remez" :
Some Jewish scholars have recorded Jesus as the master at this particular technique, so we will delve into this one a little bit more than the first. Basically, the rabbi, when using remez, will “hint” at a part of scripture, and based on that entire section of scripture being “hinted at”, he implies a deeper meaning. In order to be good disciples, we have to know the text so well that we can recognize what passage Jesus is quoting, so that we might better understand his meaning.

more about it here.
And here is a very good example of it.
It's very long... but very interesting...
