Sermon on the Plain

In Christianity, the Sermon on the Plain refers to a set of teachings by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke, in 6:20–49.In it, Jesus spent the night on a mountain praying to God.Two days later, he gathered his disciples and selected 12 of them, whom he named Apostles.On the way down from the mountain, he stood at "a level place" (ἐπὶ τόπου πεδινοῦ, epi topou pedinou) where a throng of people had gathered.After curing those with "unclean spirits", Jesus began what is now called the Sermon on the Plain.
