Sermon on the Mount

Read at Matthew 5-7.

One of the utterances in the Sermon on the Mount is preferable to 'Abdu'l-Bahá than all the writings of the philosophers

"The Bible and the Gospels are most honored in the estimation of all Bahais. One of the spiritual utterances of His Holiness Christ in his Sermon on the Mount is preferable to me to all the writings of the philosophers. It is the religious duty of every Bahai to read and comprehend the meanings of the Old and New Testament."

('Abdu'l-Bahá, Star of the West, vol. 14, issue 2, p. 55)
