Matthew 5:1-12 ▼

1 When he saw the multitude, he went vp into a mountayne: & when he was set, his disciples came to hym.

2 And he opened his mouth, & taught them, saying.

3 Blessed (are) the poore in spirite: for theirs is the kyngdome of heauen.

4 Blessed (are) they that mourne: for they shalbe comforted.

5 Blessed (are) the meke: for they shall inherite the earth.

6 Blessed (are) they, which do hunger and thirste (after) righteousnes: for they shalbe satisfied.

7 Blessed (are) the mercyfull: for they shall obteyne mercy.

8 Blessed (are) the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed (are) the peace makers: for they shalbe called the chyldren of God.

10 Blessed (are) they which suffer persecution for righteousnes sake: for theirs is the kyngdome of heauen.

11 Blessed are ye, whe (men) reuyle you, and persecute (you) and, lying, shall say all maner of euyll saying agaynst you, for my sake.

12 Reioyce, and be glad: for great is your rewarde in heauen. For so persecuted they the prophetes, whiche were before you.
