Blessed Are the Humble

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,

Blessed {are} the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed {are} they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Blessed {are} the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed {are} they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed {are} the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed {are} the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

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

Blessed {are} they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye, when {men} shall revile you, and persecute {you}, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. {falsely: Gr. lying}

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great {is} your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
