James Tissot, The Beatitudes Sermon, c. 1890,
Brooklyn Museum. [PD-US]
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the
mountain,
and after he had sat down, his disciples came to
him.
He began to teach them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for
righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart,
for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake
of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute
you
and utter every kind of evil against you falsely
because of me.
Rejoice and be glad,
for your reward will be great in heaven."
Matthew 5:1-12a
