And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a amountain: and when he was aaset, his disciples came unto him: 2And he bopened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3cBlessed are dthe poor in spirit: for etheirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4Blessed are fthey that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5Blessed are gthe meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: hfor they shall be filled.

7Blessed are the merciful: ifor they shall obtain mercy.

8Blessed are kthe pure in heart: for lthey shall see God.

9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10Blessed are mthey which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you †falsely, for my sake.

12nRejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for oso persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

13Ye are the salt of the earth: pbut if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14qYe are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men rlight a candle, and put it under ||a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, sthat they may see your good works, and stglorify your Father which is in heaven.
