Re: Disciples were the salt he spoke to. And anyone is who is a Christian.

Very Unutrue!!!! The multitude had been following Him already:

Matthew 4:23-25
23And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

24And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

25And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

Matthew 5:1-3
1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
...

So, you see, He was already preaching to the multitudes. That was His purpose for being here: to give us salvation. Not to His disciples only, but to the WHOLE WORLD!!! He wanted the multitude to hear His sermon(btw, it is a popular sermon called The Sermon on the Mount where everyone knows it is directed towards the multitude, as well as His disciples)

Also, there were many people who were converted already who were in the multitude. The multitude were thousands of people, many that witnessed Jesus healing others, and were converted right away. The people who He healed were also converted right away.
