InChristianity, theSermon on the Plain refers to a set of teachings byJesus in theGospel of Luke, in6:20–49.^[1] This sermon may be compared to the longerSermon on the Mount in theGospel of Matthew.^[2]

Luke 6:12–20a details the events leading to the sermon. In it, Jesus spent the night on a mountainpraying to God. Two days later, he gathered hisdisciples and selected 12 of them, whom he namedApostles. 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.

Notable messages in the Sermon include:

• TheBeatitudes and woes (6:20–26)
• Love your enemies andturn the other cheek (6:27–36)
• Treat others the way you want to be treated (6:31)
• Don't judge and you won't be judged, don't condemn and you won't be condemned,forgive and you will be forgiven, give and you will receive (6:37–38)
• Can the blind lead the blind? Disciples are not above their teacher (6:39-40a)
• Remove the log from your own eye before attending to the splinter in your friend's (40b-42)
• Agood tree does not produce bad fruit and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit, each tree is known by its fruit (43–45)
• Why do youcall meLord, Lord yet not do what I command? (46)
• Whoever follows these words of mine builds on rock and will survive, whoever does not builds on sand and will be destroyed (47–49)
