5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
He said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in
spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.
4 Blessed are those who
mourn,
for they will be
comforted.
5 Blessed are the
meek,
for they will inherit the
earth.
6 Blessed are those who
hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be
filled.
7 Blessed are the
merciful,
for they will be shown
mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in
heart,
for they will see
God.
9 Blessed are the
peacemakers,
for they will be called children
of God.
10 Blessed are those who are
persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
