The commandments addressed in Jesus' sermon

Matthew 5:1–7:29 (ESV)

1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him.

Jesus does not cover all aspects of the law; for instance, the fourth commandment is not found here, although it was hotly debated between the Pharisees and Jesus (Matthew 12:1–8). Neither does he refer to the greatest commandment (Matthew 22:37–40).
