Commentary on Matthew 5:1
Jesus ascends a mountain to teach, deliberately evoking Moses on Sinai. However, Jesus speaks with His own authority as the divine Lawgiver, not merely as a prophet. The 'disciples' here include both the Twelve and a broader circle of followers. This sermon establishes the constitution and character of the Kingdom of Heaven.
