1 Jesus saw the crowds who were there. He went up on a hill and sat down. His followers came to him.
2 Jesus taught the people and said:
3 “Those people who know they have great spiritual needs are happy.The kingdom of heaven belongs to them.
4 Those who are sad now are happy.God will comfort them.
5 Those who are humble are happy.The earth will belong to them.
6 Those who want to do right more than anything else are happy.God will fully satisfy them.
