“And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;”
He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon — Luke's version of the Sermon is on a level place rather than a mountain (hence the Sermon on the Plain). The geographic sweep of the crowd (Judea, Jerusalem, Tyre, Sidon) anticipates the universal scope of the teaching.
