Which suttas talk about the Eightfold Noble Path in more detail?

Q & A
1

I’ve encountered the Eightfold Noble Path in various occasions, but I was wondering if there’s one sutta that talks about it in more detail (like giving specific details about what is right speech, right actions, and so on). I highly appreciate if you can provide suttas that talk about the Eightfold Noble Path in more detail.
May you be well and healthy!

For example MN117. here is a small quote, there’s lot more in the sutta:

Right view produces right intention.
Right intention produces right speech.
Right speech produces right action.
Right action produces right livelihood.
Right livelihood produces right effort.
Right effort produces right mindfulness.
Right mindfulness produces right immersion.
Right immersion produces right knowledge.
Right knowledge produces right freedom.
So the trainee has eight factors, while the perfected one has ten factors.

This compilation from Access To Insight has links to the individual path factors and each of those links has references to multiple other suttas that go into details about each path factor.

There is an entire Saṁyutta that talks on the noble eightfold path, SN45. SN45.8 in particular gives an analysis of each of the factors in detail.
