Jesus preaches the sermon to multitudes that gather for healing and to hear the gospel. They come from every point of the compass. Jesus has gone about “all Galilee,” and the crowds come to Galilee from all over the land – from the transJordan (including Syria, 4:24), from the South (Jerusalem and Judea, 4:25) and from Decapolis. The only direction not mentioned is West; there are no Gentile seaman coming to hear Jesus. But the whole land is covered, and Jesus delivers His sermon to all Israel, gathered at the new Sinai.
