Excerpt from The Sermon on the Mount: A Practical Exposition, of St. Matthew V. Vi, 8. (Including the Beatitudes) Matthew gives the Sermon on the Mount as one continuous address. Luke records portions of it separately, and brings the various parts into connection with incidents which may derive illustration from them. Much controversy has been raised as to the locality and the circumstances under which the teaching of the Saviour was given. It is disputed by some as to whether the sermon was delivered at one time, or whether Matthew gathered up fragments of discourses uttered by Christ at different times, and wove them skilfully into one systematic discourse. These are not vital issues, and need not detain us now. Surveying the evidence, as a whole, the best authorities consider that the sermon was preached as a whole, as given by Matthew, but that portions were repeated by Christ on fitting occasions. Than this, nothing would be more likely or more fitting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
