The Sermon on the Mount, central to Christianity, combines Jewish traditions with Jesus' interpretations, marking the beginning of His ministry with enduring themes throughout the Gospel.
Matthew, written around 85 CE, draws from earlier sources, including Mark and possibly a lost document known as 'Q', distinguishing itself with its unique content.
The context of Matthew emphasizes Galilee as a foundational area for early followers of Jesus, especially following the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple.
Post-70 CE, some Jews established schools of scripture study in Galilee, reflecting the need for new places of worship and learning after the Temple's destruction.
