From "The Gospel of Matthew" (Japan Bible Society) ………Chapter 5………… 4 Blessed are those who mourn, 5 Blessed are the meek, 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, 7 Blessed are the merciful, 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, 10 Those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake Heaven is theirs. ………Chapter Seven………… 8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. ……………………… 14 For narrow is the gate, and narrow is the way that leads to life, and few there are that find it. [Reference] |Sermon on the MountThis is Jesus' sermon recorded in chapters 5 to 7 of the Gospel of Matthew. It was given this name because of the setting in which Jesus ascends to a "mountain" and delivers his message from there. There is a similar sermon by Jesus in chapter 6, verses 20-49 of the Gospel of Luke, but it is delivered on "plain ground." These changes in the two Gospels show that while each Gospel writer used common materials, they edited the text according to their own ideas. The Sermon on the Mount is much longer than the Sermon on the Plain and occupies an important position in the overall structure of the Gospel of Matthew. The contents of the sermon include well-known themes and phrases such as "The Salt of the Earth, the Light of the World," "Lord's Prayer," "The Birds of the Air, the Flowers of the Field," "Pearls before Swine," "Ask, and It shall be Given to You," and "The Narrow Gate," and have had a great influence on various areas of culture. In this sermon, Jewish ethics are criticized, but in the end, they are never discarded, but rather thoroughly implemented. Jesus' intention was to go beyond the optimism that thinks that humans can achieve moral ideals, and to clarify the thorough nature of God's requirements.
