1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto a mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 "Blessed are the humble, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
