DID YOU KNOW?
The answer
On a level place. Luke says Jesus "came down with them and stood on a level place" (Luke 6:17). Matthew has him go "up the mountain" and sit down to teach (Matthew 5:1).
Why it’s interesting
That is why Luke's version is often called the sermon on the plain. Luke's crowd comes from all Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coast of Tyre and Sidon (Luke 6:17).
