came to Him, He proceeded to teach
them, and said:
BLESSED are the poor in spirit. for
to them belongs the Kingdom Of the
Heavens.
Blessed are the nourners, for they
shall be comforted.
BLESSED are the meek, for they as
heirs shall obtain possession of the
earth.
BLESSED are those who hunger and
thirst for righteousness, for they shall
be completely satisfied.
blessed are the compassionate, for
they shall receive compassion.
blessed are the pure in heart, for
they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for
it is they who will be recognized as
sons of God.

ness. for to them belongs the Kingdom
of the Heavens.
Blessed are you when they have
insulted and prosecuted you, and have
said every cruel thing about you
falsely for my sake. Be joyful and
triumphant, because your reward is
great in the Heavens; for so were the
Prophets before you prosecuted.

abrogate them but to give them their
completion. Solenlnly 1 tell you that
until Heaven and earth pass away,
not one iota or smallest detail will
pass away from the Law until all has
taken place. Whoever therefore
breaks one of these least command
ments and teaches others to break
them, will be called the least in the
Kingdom of the Heavens; but who
ever practises them and teaches them,
he will be acknowledged as great in
the Kingdom of the Heavens. For
assure you that unless you righteous
ness greatly SURPRISES that of the
Scribes and the Pharisees. you will
certainly not find entrance into the
Kingdom of the Heavens.
