Matthew 6-8 We step back into the world on Galilee's north shore as Jesus is mid-monologue in his sermon that changed the course of preaching history.  Galilee is in full view and tens of thousands had heard of him.  As Matthew lays out the timing, Jesus had just completed a huge healing campaign (forgive the American wording, if you will) and countless souls were touched.  People were traveling 2-3 days and more to see the action and have an encounter with God; this Jesus had to be sent by God for he was healing like Elijah/Elisha did.  Jesus then paused to give his most famous sermon.  It started in Matthew 5 and goes through chapter 7.
