Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore some aspects of Jesus' discipleship described in the Sermon on the Mount. Taking into account notable writings on the concept of discipleship in the Sermon on the Mount by prominent theologians such as R. T. France and Bonhoeffer, this article examines these aspects. We will analyze the inner aspects of the Matthew text, aspects that Jesus presents. An indication that Jesus spoke in the text is that the disciples (prophets) know each other by their fruits (Matthew 7: 15-20), meaning according to their deeds. Furthermore, it is also important due to the fact that many Christians in the world claim to be disciples of Jesus, but their deeds show the opposite. Our analysis will extend to the concept of discipleship during the period of the Second Temple, a period that also includes the time in which Jesus lived. Following this, we will look at some concepts that Jesus presents in the text, giving special attention to the inner aspects emphasized in Matthew 5-7.
