A discourse by the Lord Jesus Christ to his disciples who were about to be sent forth on missions (Matt. 5-7; Luke 6: 20-49). The Lord gave the sermon soon after the calling of the Twelve.

The sermon is clarified by the Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible and by a similar sermon recorded in 3 Ne. 12-14 which show that important parts of the sermon have been lost from the account in Matthew.
