Dcmartin While looking at this passage I notice a couple of things. In Mathew it says Jesus came down the mountain. In Luke it says Jesus was on a level place - some Bibles say a plain, the NASB says a level place, the Strong's says a level place as in easy for the feet. This place in Luke could possibly be a place easy on the feet on a mountain. I did some looking, there were no mountains where Jesus was, around Galilee, only really big hills. It says in Mathew that there was a large crowd there from 4:2-5:1. It says in Luke that first Jesus was walking with the disciples through the grainfields during the day, then He was up all night praying. Then Jesus called the disciples together and called twelve. Then Jesus came down and a large crowd of disciples was there along with a great throng of people, then they were all trying to get healed. Next He starts preaching and everyone is still there the twelve, the large crowd of disciples, and the great throng. In Mathew you don't get the event of when the disciples were chosen, you just have a reference in chapter ten that He gathered them and gave them instructions. In Luke you get the actual event of when the twelve get chosen, which is right before the Sermon. I have heard it said that He was only preaching to the disciples, all of them, the twelve and the large group of disciples, because of Luke 6:20, but that would likely have been all of them the twelve plus. About your question directly - I agree with bowler that this is the same account from different sides. Luke seems to concentrate on the state of the poor on earth and makes a point of making a big difference between those who take the word of salvation and those who are happy in this life who also take advantage of others. Luke also speaks of persecution for follwoing Jesus without saying the word persecution. Mathew seems to concentrate on the spiritual state of those who are disciples, those who follow Him, and are persecuted for His sake. I think that Luke ommits the word spirit because he is concentrating on what the quality of life is like for those who believe, while Mathew puts it in because he is concentrating on the quality of the spirit of those who believe. tumbleweed, God's Own |
