# Connecting Statement:

Jesus continues to teach his disciples in his Sermon on the Mount, which began in Matthew 5:3.

# Watch out

"Be careful" or "Beware"

# before people to be seen by them

"in front of people just so that they can see you and think well of you"

# Father

This refers to God the Father. It is best to translate “Father” with the same word that your language uses to refer to a human father.
