Sermon on the Mount

Sermon on the Mount by Carl Heinrich Bloch Matthew 5: 1-12 When he saw the crowds he went up the mountain and after he had sat down his disciples cam to him. He began to teach them saying: "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven Blessed are they who mourn for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the land. Blesed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the clean of heart for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted fro the sake of righteousness for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me. Rejoice and be glad for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
