Sermon on the Mount/Plain
SERMON ON THE MOUNT/PLAIN The first of five speeches delivered by Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew. Recorded in Matt 5:3–7:27. Provides a condensed description of how a citizen of the kingdom of God should live. Has parallels with the Sermon on the Plain in Luke 6:20–49.
Source and Setting
Hagner notes that the parallel material in the book of Luke’s “Sermon on the Plain” does not occur in one section, but is scattered throughout the Gospel. This suggests that the “sermon” is a compilation of Jesus’ sayings by the evangelist, rather than something spoken by Jesus on a single occasion” (Hagner, Matthew, 83). France also sees it as a collection of Jesus’ teachings that does not represent a single sermon (France, Matthew, 111).
Morris contends that the appearance of similar material throughout Luke does not necessarily mean that it “is Matthew’s sermon rather than that of Jesus” (Morris, Matthew, 92). While the Sermon on the Mount contains portions of Jesus’ teaching on other occasions, “an itinerant preacher normally makes repeated use of his material, often with minor or even major changes.… That we find somewhat similar statements in other parts of the Gospels does not mean that Jesus did not use them on this occasion” (Morris, Matthew
