***Similarly, they cannot see that Christ is speaking to the disciples only at the Sermon on the Mount.***

Must be another Bible. Mine says that he was speaking to GREAT CROWDS in Matthew 5. Not just a few disciples.

No, it's the same bible.

When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying... [Mat 5:1-2]

There is nothing here to suggest that anyone but His disciples were in the mountain. All this says is that He saw the crowds and went into (eiV) the mountain, it doesn't say He went to them, or that they followed Him. It does say that His disicples followed Him and caught up with Him, and He becgan to speak to them. We don't know where the crowds were relative to where Jesus was. But we do know that His disciples were with Him and thye heared Him.
