^aAnd seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

 2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

 3 ^aBlessed are the ^bpoor in spirit: for theirs is the ^ckingdom of heaven.

 4 Blessed are they that ^amourn: for they shall be ^bcomforted.

 5 Blessed are the ^ameek: for they shall inherit the ^bearth.

 6 Blessed are they which do ^ahunger and thirst after ^brighteousness: for they shall be filled.

 7 Blessed are the ^amerciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

 8 Blessed are the ^apure in ^bheart: for they shall ^csee God.

 9 Blessed are the ^apeacemakers: for they shall be called the ^bchildren of God.

 10 Blessed are they which are ^apersecuted for ^brighteousness' sake: for ^ctheirs is the kingdom of heaven.

 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall ^arevile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of ^bevil against you falsely, ^cfor my sake.

 12 ^aRejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your ^breward in heaven: for so ^cpersecuted they the prophets which were before you.

 13 Ye are the ^asalt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

 14 Ye are the ^alight of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

 15 Neither do men light a ^acandle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

 16 Let your ^alight so shine before men, that they may see your good ^bworks, and ^cglorify your Father which is in heaven.

 17 Think not that I am come to ^adestroy the ^blaw, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the ^alaw, till all be ^bfulfilled.
