Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible
Matthew 7 - Introduction
Matthew 5-7. The Sermon on the Mount. This is the first of five blocks in which Mt. collects the greater part of the words of Jesus. He places it here in view of Mark 1:21. Attempts to locate the mountain or the exact time are useless in view of the fact that the sermon is a collection of material, not a discourse spoken in one place at one time.
