As for the Sermon on the Mount, I do not know how big the mount is, nor do I know you were at the correct place, what I do know is Jesus was teaching His disciples and that would be a dozen even, well within your numbers. Yes there were many in attendance but Jesus voice wold not have been able to carry over a great distance, especially outdoors.
Wait now, just how long does a generation span, 40 years or 400, or 900? So you don't know anything at all about the sermon on the mount eh? No specifics, except those specifics that are important to you, with no way to verify the specifics themselves. I applaud you on such cheaply bought knowledge. A short aside- the best part of the Sermon on the Mount is Matthew 5:29, but it's always lost in translation. That Jesus guy, always cracking jokes. Course he'd have to be, he cracked that joke immediately after invoking thought crimes, and you can't let thought crimes float around in the air. Better to get a laugh, break the uncomfortable silence. People remember things better when there's a joke involved as well.
