Matthew 5:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 5:13

11 ^a“Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of ^bevil against you falsely for My sake.

12 ^aRejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for ^bso they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Believers Are Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth; ^abut if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

14 ^a“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Nor do they ^alight a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, ^athat they may see your good works and ^bglorify your Father in heaven.

Christ Fulfills the Law

17 ^a“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

18 For assuredly, I say to you, ^atill heaven and earth pass away, one¹ jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.
