redaction/criticism by Ana & Tamara

The Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Plain are very similar except for a few slight differences.
In Luke Jesus talks about the woes of the poor, how blessed are the persecuted, woe to those who are content and conformed with what they have and the world around them. In Matthew it goes on to add blessed are the meek, and the poor, and those who make peace. In Luke it seems to refer more to the immediate followers of Christ while in Matthew it praises those who are building a just society which goes more in line with a Jewish worldview
