The Sermon on the Mount may be compared with the similar but shorter Sermon on the Plain as recounted by the Gospel of Luke (Luke 6:17–49), which occurs at the same moment in Luke's narrative, and also features Jesus heading up a mountain, but giving the sermon on the way down at a level spot. Some scholars believe that they are the same ...
Since Matthew was the primary source for Luke, and Matthew's gospel (the only published gospel at the time) would have been well known to Peter, he mostly would have preached on the contents of Matthew.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus expressed the essence of Christian humanism. Here are the salient passages from the Book of Matthew, King James Version: Blessed are the poor in spirit: for ...
Luke's Sermon on the Plain opens with Jesus "lifting up his eyes", and the two phrases might be related. [21] Harrington notes that this is one of only two times in the Gospel that Jesus is described as teaching. Both reference the Sermon on the Mount, with the other reference at Matthew 7:29. [22]
