Sermon on the Mount |
Jesus' words to His disciples (Lk 6:20-26) |
|
Jesus' words to the crowd (Mt 5:3-12) |
| Blessed are you who are poor, for the kingdom of God is yours. |
|
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
| Blessed are you who are now hungry, for you will be satisfied. |
|
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. |
| Blessed are you who are now weeping, for you will laugh. |
|
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. |
| Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude and insult you, and denounce your name as evil on account of the Son of Man. |
|
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. |
| Rejoice and leap for joy on that day! Behold, your reward will be great in heaven. For their ancestors treated the prophets in the same way. |
|
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. |
| But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. |
|
Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God. |
| But woe to you who are filled now, for you will be hungry. |
|
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. |
| Woe to you who laugh now, for you will grieve and weep. |
|
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. |
| Woe to you when all speak well of you, for their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way. |
|
Blessed are they when they insult you and persecute you and every kind of evil (falsely) because of me. |
|
|
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you. |
