When he was about to give his sermon on the mount the bible says the disciples drew near. He was speaking the truth to his disciples in front of all of those people on the mount. He himself was the truth. The sermon on the mount although given especially to the disciples, was spoken in the hearing of the multitude.
After the ordination of the Apostles, Jesus went with them to the seaside. Here in the early morning people had begun to assemble. Besides the usual crowds from the Galilean towns, there were people from Judea, and even from Jerusalem itself; from Perea, from Decapolis, from Idumea, away to the south of Judea; and from Tyre and Sidon, the Phoenician cities on the shore of the Mediterranean. "When they had heard what great things He did," they "came to hear Him, and to be healed of their diseases: . . . there went virtue out of Him, and healed them all." Mark 3:8; Luke 6:17-19. The disciples' place was always next to Jesus. The people constantly pressed upon Him, yet the disciples understood that they were not to be crowded away from His presence. They sat close beside Him, that they might not lose a word of His instruction. They were attentive listeners, eager to understand the truths they were to make known to all lands and all ages.
In other words Judy, the "salt" was the disciples. The rest of the people were just listening and Jesus was speaking to the disciples and letting everyone hear it.
