The Structure of the Gospel of Matthew
The Gospel of Matthew is divided into five big blocks of teachings, with the Sermon on the Mount being the first one. Matthew presents Jesus as a teacher and emphasizes his role in bringing the Kingdom of God on earth. The Sermon on the Mount shouldn't be understood or read in isolation, but rather in the context of all of Jesus' teachings throughout Matthew. The Sermon comes after a carefully crafted introduction to the story of Jesus, and it is followed by a concluding movement towards Jesus' death and resurrection.
