*
And seeing the multitudes ,
he went up into the mountain ;
and when he had sat down ,
his disciples came to him .
*
And he opened his mouth ,
and taught them ,
saying :
*
Blessed are the poor in spirit ;
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven .
*
*
*
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness ;
for they will be filled .
*
Blessed are the merciful ;
for they will obtain mercy .
*
Blessed are the pure in heart ;
for they will see God .
*
Blessed are the peace
makers ;
for they will be called sons of God .
*
Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousness
sake ;
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven .
*
Blessed are ye ,
when men revile you ,
and persecute you ,
and say every thing that is bad against you ,
falsely ,
for my sake .
*
Rejoice ,
and be exceeding glad ;
for great is your reward in heaven ;
for so did they persecute the prophets that were before you .
