Matthew Study Notes—Chapter 5New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
A city . . . located on a mountain: Jesus did not specify a particular city. In his day, many cities were located on mountains, often to make them less vulnerable to attack. Such cities were surrounded by large walls, making them visible for miles and impossible to hide. This would have been true even of small villages with their typically whitewashed houses.
