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
(de Cons. Ev. ii. 19.) Or He may be thought to have sought to shun the thickest crowd, and to have ascended the mountain that He might speak to His disciples alone.
