Sermon on the mount. Taught to the disiples or multitude

Bill:
Hello,

I while back I was having discussion on how Jesus taught only to the multitudes in parables and the sermon on the mount got brought up. So I pointed out matt 5:1

(KJV)Matthew 5:1And seeing the multitudes,[he saw the multitudes then] he went up into a mountain:[that is Jesus not the Multitudes] and when he was set, his disciples [clearly this his disciples again not the multitudes]came unto him:

Then they pointed out how after Christ sermon on the mount the multidues followed them down:

--- Quote ---And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. (NKJV)

It says "the people", not "the disciples". One would think that if only the disciples heard, the inspired writer would have specified "the disciples", since the same inspired writer in Matthew 5:1 said "the disciples" sat at Jesus feet.
--- End quote ---

(Mat 7:28 KJV) And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

Actually the word used in the Greek for peoples is actually used many times as multitude.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hi Bill,

I have read that when He went up to the mountain and took His twelve apostles, that he also took the seventy that were sent out to preach the gospel. It would have been impractical and almost impossible to take four or five thousand men plus their families up the mountain. Besides, Jesus only spoke to the multitudes in parables and there are some things in the sermon on the mount, such as love your enemies, that are not in parables. Just my thoughts.

Hi Bill,
Good question.
My thoughts are
It says his disciples not his just his apostles.
Just my thoughts and a little help.
thanks Dwight
In Christ.

Hi Bill,

Here is a resent email from Ray about the sermon on the mount.

Dear Jerry:

Great! I look forward to meeting you in Nashville.

The Sermon on the Mount was NOT given to the multitudes as were His many parables. He taught "His DISCIPLES" higher up on this mountain, not the multitudes which He taught nearer the base of the mountain. However, these teachings on the mount are ANYTHING but "straight forward" as you suggest. It would take a 100 page paper to answer your question fully, Jerry, and so that is why I am writing a 100 page paper to do just that. It is called: "HELL Part D." Parts D-1 and D-2 are already posted, and part D-3 should be posted in the next week or so with more parts to follow. Be sure to read them.

Yes, the professor did show my material to his class and he also contacted me by email several times. After I totally blew him away with the Scriptures he stopped emailing me.

God be with you,

Ray

Thanks Kat,

Yes this email is what reminded me of this but he did not explain Mat 7:28 which what I was hoping to get help on.

God Bless
