The Sermon on the Mount includes the Beatitudes (5:3-12) and the Lord’s Prayer • Double-column format (6:5-15). The book closes with the Great Commission (28:18-20).

As do all four Gospel accounts, Matthew focuses on Christ’s three-year ministry and his death and resurrection. Matthew probably wrote his Gospel in the 50s or 60s A.D.
