1 But when He saw the crowds, He went up on a mountain. And when He was seated His taught ones came to Him.
2 And having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying,
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, because theirs is the reign of the heavens.
4 “Blessed are those who mourn, because they shall be comforted.
5 “Blessed are the meek, because they shall inherit the earth.
6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they shall be filled.
7 “Blessed are the compassionate, because they shall obtain compassion.
