The site is near the Sea of Galilee, probably close to Capernaum where Jesus delivered the "Sermon on the Mount".

AnswerThere are eight beatitudes to be found in Matthew and four of these are in Luke, although with some differences. Matthew says that Jesus was on a mountain near Galilee, and that the beatitudes formed part of the Sermon on the Mount. Luke says that Jesus was on a plain near Galilee, and that the beatitudes formed part of the Sermon on the Plain. The reason both for the similarities and the differences is that the four beatitudes common to both gospels are believed to have been copied from the hypothetical 'Q' document, a book of sayings attributed to Jesus, but Q does not provide any context for those sayings (the remaining four beatitudes in Matthew can be found in various earlier sources). Matthew chose to provide his context on a mountain, while Luke chose to provide his on a plain.
