In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:3), Jesus begins the Beatitudes with 'Blessed are the poor in spirit.' What phrase does Luke use in the Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:20) when he records Jesus's first beatitude?
Luke 6:20 records Jesus saying 'Blessed are you who are poor' without Matthew's qualifier 'in spirit,' reflecting Luke's emphasis on physical poverty and Jesus's concern for the materially disadvantaged.
