Matthew 4:23–5:12

23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, yteaching in their synagogues, and preaching zthe gospel of the kingdom, and ahealing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. 24 And his fame went throughout all aaSyria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and btorments, and those which were cpossessed with devils, and those which were dlunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. 25 eAnd there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from fDecapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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