With him travelled a number of followers or sermonsdisciples. 4 separate, canonical written accounts of Jesus'''* life and teaching of this time survive today, and are included in the [[The Sermon on Bible]] as the Mount4 Gospels - [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]]* , [[I am the wayGospel of Mark|Mark]], the truth and the life[[Gospel of Luke|Luke]]* and [[Love one another as I have loved youGospel of John|John]]* . Other accounts, such as the [[Love your enemiesGospel of Thomas]]* , are regarded as apocryphal, that is, of questionable authenticity and truth.

Calling upon his followers to "Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect" ([[Matthew 5:48]]), Jesus asked them to love not only their friends, but also their enemies, to repay evil with good, and to to trust God, rather than seek material wealth.
