Jesus' Eight Beatitudes

 

THE EIGHT BEATITUDES OF JESUS

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

1

"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

2
Blessed are they who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.

3
Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.

4
Blessed are they who do hunger and thirst after righteousness,
for they shall be filled.

5
Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.

6
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God.

7
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called the children of God.

8
Blessed are they who are persecuted for righteousnessness sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Gospel of Matthew 5:3-10
