Summary
In the first century CE, according to the representation of the evangelist of Matthew, not far from the Sea of Galilee, a young Jew named Jesus climbed a mountain and preached to his followers. He spoke about the proper and improper ways of his followers, reinterpreted some of the Mosaic laws, and offered a new way to reach the Kingdom of Heaven.
