• 58 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will
  see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they
  will be called children of God.
• 521 You have heard that it was said to those of
  ancient times, You shall not murder and
  whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.
  22 But I say to you that if you are angry with a
  brother or sister, you will be liable to
  judgment
• 527 You have heard that it was said, You shall
  not commit adultery. 28 But I say to you that
  everyone who looks at a woman with lust has
  already committed adultery with her in his
  heart.

Matthews Sermon on the Mount continued (2)

• 538 You have heard that it was said, An eye
  for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. 39 But I
  say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if
  anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the
  other also
• 63 But when you give alms, do not let your left
  hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so
  that your alms may be done in secret and your
  Father who sees in secret will reward you.
• 728 When Jesus had finished saying these
  things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching,
  29 because he taught as one who had authority,
  and not as their teachers of the law.

  Plain)
• 27 But I say to you that listen, Love your
  enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28
  bless those who curse you, pray for those who
  abuse you.
• 35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend,
  expecting nothing in return. Your reward
  will be great, and you will be children of the
  Most High for he is kind to the ungrateful and
  the wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your
  Father is merciful.

Lukes Sermon on the Plain continued

• 37 Forgive, and you will be forgiven 38 give,
  and it will be given to you. A good measure,
  pressed down, shaken together, running over, will
  be put into your lap for the measure you give
  will be the measure you get back.
• 43 No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad
  tree bear good fruit. 44 Each tree is recognized
  by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from
  thornbushes, or grapes from briers.
• 45 The good person out of the good treasure of
  the heart produces good, and the evil person out
  of evil treasure produces evil for it is out of
  the abundance of the heart that the mouth
  speaks.

Great Work!

• In this lesson we have learned
• Matthew, chapters 5-7 contains the Sermon on the
  Mount.
• Luke 620-49 contains the Sermon on the Plain,
  which is a shorter version of the Sermon on the
  Mount that does not have, You have heard that it
  was said, but I say to you, and many other
  things.
• Mark 827-33, at the center of Marks Gospel,
  contains Jesus question to the disciples, Who
  do you say I am? and Peters response that he is
  the Messiah.

14
Summary continued

• Matthew 1615-20 adds a response to the Who do
  you say I am? text, telling Peter he is the
  rock on which he will build his church and
  giving him the keys to the kingdom of heaven.
• Matthew 69-13 and Luke 112-4 both contain the
  Lords Prayer. Lukes is shorter, not containing
  Our father, in heaven, your will be
  done, and deliver us from the evil one.
