The '''Sermon on the Mount''' is the common name given to a sermon delivered by [[Jesus]] of Nazareth as recorded in the gospel of Mathew 5-7. The sermon more clearly articulates his most significant moral teachings and duties than anywhere else in the bible. Many Christians consider the Sermon on the Mount to be one of the greatest messages ever delivered to mankind. Many of Jesus' most iconic sayings appear in this sermon such as: "turn the other cheek", and the "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Perhaps the most quoted part of the Sermon on the Mount are the [[Beatitudes]] which list those who are blessed, including the poor, the meek, and the children. The Sermon on the Mount, according to Matthew, then goes on to introduce the [[Lord's Prayer]].

== History ==
The Sermon on the Mount was delivered during the early days of the Christ's ministry. After being baptized by [[John the Baptist]], Jesus took to preaching in the streets of Galilee. Soon large crowds gathered, eager to hear his teachings. One day, after looking out at the multitudes that have gathered, Jesus goes up into the mountains where he is followed by his disciples. There, surrounded by his disciples, Jesus delivers his sermon.
