Matius 5:1

The Beatitudes

5:1 When ¹  he saw the crowds, he went up the mountain. ²  After he sat down his disciples came to him.

Matius 14:23

14:23 And after he sent the crowds away, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone.

Matius 24:38

24:38 For in those days before the flood, people ³  were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark.

[5:1]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[5:1]  ² tn Or “up a mountain” (εἰς τὸ ὄρος, eis to oro").

[5:1]  sn The expression up the mountain here may be idiomatic or generic, much like the English “he went to the hospital” (cf. 15:29), or even intentionally reminiscent of Exod 24:12 (LXX), since the genre of the Sermon on the Mount seems to be that of a new Moses giving a new law.

[24:38]  ³ tn Grk “they,” but in an indefinite sense, “people.”
