James Tissot, The Beatitudes Sermon, c. 1890, Brooklyn Museum. The Beatitudes (/ b i ˈ æ t ɪ tj u d z /) are blessings recounted by Jesus in Matthew 5:3-10 within the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew, and four in the Sermon on the Plain in the Gospel of Luke, followed by four woes which mirror the blessings.
The structure of Matthew 5 can be broken down as follows: Matthew 5:1–12 – Setting and Beatitudes; Matthew 5:13–16 – Salt of the earth and light of the world; Matthew 5:17–20 – Law and the Prophets; Matthew 5:21–26 – Do not hate; Matthew 5:27–30 – Do not lust; Matthew 5:31–32 – Do not divorce except for sexual misconduct ...
The last verse of chapter 5 of Matthew (Matthew 5:48) [30] is a focal point of the Sermon that summarizes its teachings by advising the disciples to seek perfection. [31] The Greek word telios used to refer to perfection also implies an end, or destination, advising the disciples to seek the path towards perfection and the Kingdom of God. [31]
Gehenna appears six other times in the Gospel of Matthew: 5:29, 5:30, 10:28, 18:19, 23:15, and 23:33 [14] Some scholars reject the idea that the first two sections refer to secular institutions.

The verse is paralleled in Mark 9:50; [5] Luke 14:34–35 also has a version of this text similar to the one in Mark. [6] There are a wide number of references to salt in the Old Testament. Leviticus 2:13, [7] Numbers 18:19, [8] and 2 Chronicles 13:5 [9] all present salt as a sign of God's covenant.
Matthew 5:19 is the nineteenth verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament and is part of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus has reported that he came not to destroy the law, but fulfil it. In this verse he perhaps continues to reinforce this claim.
The explanation for the new rule waits until Matthew 5:37. [1] Very few [vague] Christians interpret this verse literally to mean that all oaths are prohibited as in other parts of the Bible oaths are looked upon more favourably. In 2 Corinthians 1:23 and Galatians 1:20 Paul of Tarsus swears oaths, and in Hebrews 6:17 God himself
Matthew 5:27 opens in a very similar manner to Matthew 5:21, but it omits "to the ancient ones", though Gundry believes that this is implied. "To the ancient ones" is found in the Textus Receptus version of this verse, and from there it was included in the KJV. [1] This verse refers to the commandment against adultery stated in Exodus 20:14 ...
