1When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on the side of a mountain and sat down.[#5.1 Teachers in the ancient world, including Jewish teachers, usually sat down when they taught.]
Jesus' disciples gathered around him,
2and he taught them:
3God blesses those people
who depend only on him.
They belong to the kingdom
of heaven!
4God blesses those people[#Is 61.2.]
who grieve.
They will find comfort!
5God blesses those people[#Ps 37.11.]
who are humble.
The earth will belong
to them!
6God blesses those people[#Is 55.1,2; Si 24.21.]
who want to obey him
more than to eat or drink.
They will be given
what they want!
7God blesses those people
who are merciful.
They will be treated
with mercy!
8God blesses those people[#Ps 24.3,4; 2 Esd 7.98.]
whose hearts are pure.
They will see him!
9God blesses those people
who make peace.
They will be called
his children!
10God blesses those people[#1 P 3.14.]
who are treated badly
for doing right.
They belong to the kingdom
of heaven.
