Current scholarship on Matthew, however, indicates that this is not the case, that indeed Matthew contributed significantly to the shaping of his version of the Sermon on the Mount.

 Luke's Rewriting of the Sermon on the Mount
Perhaps this was to emphasize that the sermon was for all the people, since the mountain seems to be a place for Jesus' close relationship with his disciples (in Mark and Luke, the disciples are selected on a mountain; in Matthew the disciples alone seem to follow Jesus to the mountain to hear the sermon).
Goulder has argued that Luke's sermon is essentially a simple two pronged sermon: the first part deals with poverty and persecution the disciple must expect, and the latter part deals with peril of blind leaders.
