Matthew 5:1-12
11When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on 2the 3mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. 24He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,
3“56Blessed are the 7poor in spirit, for 8theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4“Blessed are 9those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5“Blessed are 10the 11gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
6“Blessed are 12those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7“Blessed are 13the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
8“Blessed are 14the pure in heart, for 15they shall see God.
9“Blessed are the peacemakers, for 16they shall be called sons of God.
10“Blessed are those who have been 17persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for 18theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11“Blessed are you when people 19insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for 20in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
