Luke records the Sermon on the Mount quite differently than Matthew did. Matthew 5:3-12 and Luke 6:20-26 both contain the words of Jesus from the same message, but note these differences.
Luke - "Blessed are the poor"
Matthew - "Blessed are the poor in spirit"
Luke - "Blessed are you who hunger now"
Matthew - "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness"
Luke - "Blessed are you who weep now"
Matthew - "Blessed are those who mourn"
On the flip side...
Luke - "But woe to you who are rich"
Matthew - N/A
Luke - "But woe to you who are well fed now"
Matthew - N/A
Luke - "But woe to you who laugh now"
Matthew - N/A
Did Matthew just spiritualize Jesus' words? Or did Luke elaborate with the "woes" on what Jesus really meant?
