1 Now, perceiving the throngs, He ascended into the mountain. And, at His being seated, His disciples came to Him.
2 And opening His mouth, He taught them, saying,
3 "Happy, in spirit, are the poor, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
4 "Happy are those who mourn now, for they shall be consoled.
5 "Happy are the meek, for they shall be enjoying the allotment of the land.
6 "Happy are those who are hungering and thirsting for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
7 "Happy are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.
8 "Happy are the clean in heart, for they shall see God.
9 "Happy are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
10 "Happy are those persecuted on account of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
11 "Happy are you whenever they should be reproaching and persecuting you and, falsifying, saying every wicked thing against you, on my account.
12 Rejoice and exult, for your wages are vast in the heavens. For thus they persecute the prophets before you.
