Matthew 514

Matthew 5:14 is a verse from the New Testament of the Bible, part of the Sermon on the Mount delivered by Jesus Christ. The verse reads: "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden." In this passage, Jesus uses the metaphor of light to illustrate the role of his followers. The Hebrew translation of this verse is אתם אור העולם. עיר שישבה על הר לא תוכלה להתחבא. In Greek, the original language of the New Testament, it is Ὑμεῖς ἐστε τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου. οὐ δύναται πόλις κεκρυμμένη ἐπὶ τῶν ὄρων. The verse emphasizes the visibility and influence of a city on a hill, suggesting that believers should similarly shine their light (good deeds, virtues, and faith) before others, making a positive impact on the world. This metaphor is part of a larger teaching on discipleship, encouraging followers to live righteously and openly, reflecting the values of the Kingdom of God.
