The Greek word used here is "καταβὰς" (katabas), which means to descend. This action reflects the incarnation itself, where Christ descended from heaven to earth. It also emphasizes His role as a servant leader, who does not remain aloof but engages directly with the people.and stood on a level place The "level place" signifies accessibility and equality. In contrast to the mountains where Jesus often prayed, this setting is more approachable, symbolizing the leveling of social and spiritual hierarchies. The Greek term "πεδινός" (pedinos) suggests a plain or flat area, which can be seen as a metaphor for the leveling of barriers between God and humanity through Christ.A large crowd of His disciples This phrase highlights the growing number of followers who are committed to learning from Jesus. The Greek word "πλῆθος" (plethos) indicates a multitude, suggesting that Jesus' teachings and miracles were drawing significant attention. The term "disciples" (μαθητῶν, mathētōn) refers to those who are learners or students, emphasizing the active role of following and learning from Jesus.and a great number of people Here, the text distinguishes between the disciples and the general populace. The "great number" (πολὺ πλῆθος, poly plēthos) underscores the widespread interest in Jesus' ministry. This crowd includes those who are curious, in need of healing, or seeking truth, reflecting the diverse reasons people are drawn to Christ.from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon This geographical reference illustrates the wide-reaching impact of Jesus' ministry. Judea and Jerusalem were central to Jewish life and religion, while Tyre and Sidon were Gentile regions. The inclusion of these areas signifies the breaking down of ethnic and cultural barriers, foreshadowing the universal scope of the Gospel. The mention of these specific locations also provides historical context, showing the fulfillment of prophecies regarding the Messiah's influence beyond Israel.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/luke/6.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(17) And he came down with them, and stood in the plain.--We are again confronted with harmonistic difficulties. In St. Matthew (Matthew 10) the mission of the Twelve is followed by a full discourse on their Apostolic work and its perils. Here it is followed by a discourse which has so many points of resemblance with the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, 6, 7, that many have supposed it to be identical. It is a partial explanation of the difficulty that St. Mark and St. Luke distinguish the choice of the Twelve from their mission, the latter meeting us in <a href="/luke/9-1.htm" title="Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.">Luke 9:1</a>, <a href="/mark/6-7.htm" title="And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;">Mark 6:7</a>, and that in a form which implies the previous existence of the Twelve as a distinct body; but we still have to face the fact that events which St. Mark and St. Luke place even before the choice, St. Matthew places after the mission. (See Note on <a href="/luke/6-13.htm" title="And when it was day, he called to him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;">Luke 6:13</a>.)Stood in the plain.--Better, on a plain, or on a level place. The Greek has no article.A great multitude of people.--The description that follows has many points of resemblance both with that in <a href="/context/mark/3-7.htm" title="But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,">Mark 3:7-12</a>, and with that in <a href="/matthew/4-24.htm" title="And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.">Matthew 4:24</a>, immediately before the Sermon on the Mount. It is probable enough that each separate report of any of our Lord's great discourses dwelt upon the multitudes who were present to hear them. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 17. - And he came down with them, and stood in the plain. Leaving the uppermost slopes of the hill - the modern Kurm Hattin, or "Horns of Hattin" - where he had spent the night alone in prayer - Jesus probably descended a little and rejoined the band of disciples. Out of these he called the twelve above mentioned; and titan, with the whole body of disciples - the twelve, no doubt, closest to his Person - he continued the descent for some way. On a level spot situate on the hillside, very likely a fiat space between the two peaks of Hattin, the Master and his followers came upon a crowd of inquirers, who had ascended thus far to meet him. These were composed, as we shall see, of various nationalities. Some came with their sick friends, seeking a cure; some were urged by curiosity; others by a real longing to hear more of the words of life from his Divine lips. It was to this crowd that, surrounded by the newly elected twelve, as well as by the larger company of disciples, that Jesus spoke the famous discourse known as the sermon on the mount. A great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him. To the places here enumerated, St. Matthew adds Galilee, Decapolis, and the region beyond Jordan. St. Mark (<a href="/mark/3-8.htm">Mark 3:8</a>) - where the same period of our Lord's ministry is treated of - alludes to people from Idumaea forming part of the multitude which just then used to crowd round the Master as he taught. Thus the great sermon was addressed to men of various nationalities - to rigid and careless Jews, to Romans and Greeks, to Phoenicians from Tyre and Sidon, and to nomad Arabs from Idumaea. <a href="/commentaries/luke/6-17.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Then Καὶ (Kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely.
