The Sermon on the Mount

The Sermon on the Mount

Matthew 5:1–7:29; Luke 6:17–49

^{Mt 5:1–2}When He saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain [^{Lk 6:17a}After coming down with them, He stood on a level place], and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. ²Then He began to teach them, saying:

³“Blessed are the poor in spirit [^{Lk 6:20b}Blessed are you who are poor], because the kingdom of heaven is theirs [^{Lk 6:20c}because the kingdom of God is yours].

⁴“Blessed are those who mourn, because they will be comforted.

⁵“Blessed are the gentle, because they will inherit the earth.

⁶“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled.

⁷“Blessed are the merciful, because they will be shown mercy.

⁸“Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God.

⁹“Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God.

¹⁰“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness, because the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

¹¹“Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you, and say every kind of evil against you falsely because of Me. ¹²Be glad and rejoice [^{Lk 6:23b}leap for joy], because your reward is great in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

^{Lk 6:24–26}“But woe to you who are rich, because you have received your comfort. ²⁵Woe to you who are full now, because you will be hungry. Woe to you who are laughing now, because you will mourn and weep. ²⁶Woe to you when all people speak well of you, because this is the way their forefathers used to treat the false prophets.
