sermon of the Mount η επί του όρους ομιλία Explanation: Κανονικά sermon on the Mount Sermon on the Mount In the Gospel of St. Matthew, the Sermon on the Mount is a compilation of Jesus' sayings, epitomizing his moral teaching. According to chapters 5-7, Jesus of Nazareth gave this sermon (estimated around AD 30) on a mountainside to his disciples and a large crowd. Matthew groups Jesus' teachings into five discourses, of which the Sermon on the Mount is the first. The others concern instructions for the disciples, parables of the Kingdom, instructions for the Church, and a harsh denunciation of scribes and pharisees. The best-known written portions of the open-air sermon comprise the Beatitudes, found at the beginning of the section. The Sermon also contains the Lord's Prayer and the injunctions to "resist not evil" (5:39) and "turn the other cheek," as well as Jesus' version of the Golden Rule. Other lines often quoted are the references to "salt of the Earth," "light of the world" and "judge not, lest ye be judged." Many Christians believe that the Sermon on the Mount is a form of commentary on the Ten Commandments. It portrays Christ as the true interpreter of the Mosaic Law. To many, the Sermon on the Mount contains the central tenets of Christian discipleship, and is considered as such by many religious and moral thinkers, such as Tolstoy, Gandhi, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Martin Luther King, Jr. It has been one of the main sources of Christian pacifism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sermon_on_the_Mount http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sermon_on_the_Mount -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 mins (2009-06-05 10:02:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.google.gr/search?hl=en&rlz=1B3GGGL_elGR279GR279&q... |
