An illustration of the light parable

Salt and light are images used by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, one of the main teachings of Jesus on morality and discipleship.[1] These images are in Matthew 5:13, 14, 15 and 16[2]

The general theme of Matthew 5:13–16 is promises and expectations, and these expectations follow the promises of the first part.[2]

The first verse of this passage introduces the phrase "salt of the earth" (Template:Langx): Template:Quote

The second verse introduces "City upon a Hill" (Template:Langx): Template:Quote

The later verses refer to not hiding a lamp under a bushel, which also occurs in Script error: No such module "Bibleverse". and the phrase "Light of the World", which also appears in Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".. Template:Quote
