Matthew 5:1
Douay-Rheims
And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him.
Augustine of Hippo
Or, to teach sitting is the prerogative of the Master. His disciples came to him, that they who in spirit approached more nearly to keeping His commandments, should also approach Him nearest with their bodily presence.
