And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, fir they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all
kinds of evil against you falsely on my account."
-The Beatitudes from Jesus' ministry on earth, famously known as 'The Sermon on The Mount'. This portion of the 'sermon' is from Matthew 5:3-11
“Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.” – Matthew 5:12
