Jesus’ sermon in Luke 6 is sometimes called the Sermon on the Plain. The content of the Sermon on the Plain (or the Sermon on the Plateau) is very much like that of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5—7). In fact, some students of the Bible consider Matthew’s and Luke’s accounts to be different records of the same event. But there are differences, and they seem to be enough to consider the Sermon on the Plain and the Sermon on the Mount to be delivered at different times to different audiences.
