Jesus Teaching: Beatitudes Mt
He began to teach them
Saying
Blessed are the poor in spirit
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are they who mourn
For they will be comforted
Blessed are the meek
For they will inherit the land
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness
For they will be satisfied
Blessed are the merciful
For they will be shown mercy
Blessed are the clean of heart
For they will see God
Blessed are the peacemakers
For they will be called children of God
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you
Utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me
Rejoice and be glad
For your reward will be great in heaven
Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you [MT 5:2-12]
