The Sermon on the Mount Compared

by Lucas Jackson · · 1 min read

What would it look like to compare each of the versions of the Sermon on the Mount? I decided to take Matthew, Hebrew Matthew,1 The Joseph Smith Translation of Matthew, 3 Nephi, Luke, and The Joseph Smith Translation of Luke to compare the words of Christ in each.2

Here is a PDF document: The-Sermon-on-the-Mount-Compared. Please enjoy this for your personal studies. Let me know if you see any errors or missing information.

I’ve since put all four Gospels together with the Joseph Smith Translation at Seek This Jesus. Its Sermon on the Mount begins with The Beatitudes.

Notes

  1. The English translation of the Shem-Tob Hebrew text in George Howard, Hebrew Gospel of Matthew (Macon, GA: Mercer University Press, 1995). ↩
  2. Matthew 5–7; Luke 6, 11, 12, 13 and 16; 3 Nephi 12–14. The Joseph Smith Translation of the sermon reads in context in Matthew 3:4–49 RE and Luke 5:1–13 RE; for each change, see Kent P. Jackson, Joseph Smith’s Translation of the Bible (Matthew 5–7; Luke 6). ↩
