Matthew 4:23-5:13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom: and healing all manner of sickness and every infirmity, among the people.

²⁴ And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and lunatics, and those that had palsy, and he cured them:

²⁵ And much people followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him.

² And opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:

³ Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

⁴ Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.

⁵ Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

⁶ Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.

⁷ Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

⁸ Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.

⁹ Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called children of God.

¹⁰ Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹ Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:

¹² Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

¹³ You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing any more but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men.
