1 When He saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain, and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.
2 Then He began to teach them, saying:
3 “The poor in spirit are blessed, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
4 Those who mourn are blessed, for they will be comforted.
5 The gentle are blessed, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed, for they will be filled.
