In their more formal teaching sessions, the rabbis were accustomed to sit down, and on this particular spring morning of 31 C.E., that is what Jesus did, apparently at a level place higher on the hillside.
Oma väljakujunenud õpetamistel oli rabidel kombeks maha istuda, ja sel konkreetsel kevadhommikul aastal 31 m.a.j. tegi seda ka Jeesus ilmselt ühel kõrgemal mäeküljel tasasel platsil.
