As with 5:3 this verse cites the Kingdom of Heaven as the reward, also like that first verse the reward is in the present tense, the other six have it in the future. Kodjak believes that this parallelism with the first verse is to emphasize that this one is the conclusion of the Beatitudes and 5:11-12 should not be considered part of the group. [1]
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
Matthew 5:3–12 [9] includes the Beatitudes. These describe the character of the people of the Kingdom of Heaven, expressed as "blessings". [10] The Greek word most versions of the Gospel render as "blessed," can also be translated "happy" (Matthew 5:3–12 in Young's Literal Translation [11] for an example). In Matthew, there are eight (or ...
Gundry feels that, at least in this verse, disciples has a much broader meaning and refers to any who came to hear Jesus, he feels the word is used interchangeably in this section with crowds. [14] Matthew 7:28 makes clear the general crowd was listening to the Sermon. That Jesus sits down might indicate this is not meant to be a public address.

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 5:11 is the eleventh verse of the fifth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.It is the ninth verse of the Sermon on the Mount.Some commentators consider this verse to be the beginning of the last Beatitude, [who?] but others disagree, [who?] seeing it as more of an expansion on the eighth and final Beatitude in the previous verse.
The Greek word makarios cannot adequately be rendered as "blessed" nor "happy", as it is rather 'a term of congratulation and recommendation' [4] which can also mean "satisfied" (as in Psalm 1:1). [5] The Greek phrase οἱ ἐλεήμονες, "the merciful" or "the compassionate" (Hebrews 2:17; Homer, Odyssey, Book 5, line 191) [6] does not ...
