What is known as Jesus' Sermon on the Mount ( Matt. 5-7; Luke 6:20-49) is believed to have been given near the top of the ridge in the above photo (where you see part of a church). Although called the Mount of Beatitudes, Jesus did not speak from an actual mountain but from a small hill or eminence in the vicinity of Capernaum.
