Matthew Henry Commentary Matthew 5:1-2

"And seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain: and when he had sat down, his disciples came unto him: and he opened his mouth and taught them, saying," — Matthew 5:1-2 (ASV)

No one will find happiness in this world or the next, who does not seek it from Christ by the rule of his word. He taught them what evil they should abhor, and what good they should seek and abound in.
