The BeatitudesML

Matthew has nine beatitudes; Luke has four plus four woes.

Mateo(du leser)

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

4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you and speak all kinds of evil against you falsely because of me.

12Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven; that is how they persecuted the prophets who came before you.

20Then he lifted up his eyes to his disciples and said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

22Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and denounce your name as evil because of the Son of Man.

23Rejoice on that day and leap for joy, for your reward is great in heaven. That is exactly how their ancestors treated the prophets.

24But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.

25Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.

26Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is exactly how their ancestors treated the false prophets.

Salt and LightMML

Matthew has the most detailed version.

Mateo(du leser)

13You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by people.

14You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket; they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

16In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

MarcosMark 9:50

50Salt is good, but if the salt loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

34Salt is good, but if salt loses its taste, how can it be made salty again?

35It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown away. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear."

and he began to teach them, saying:
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you and speak all kinds of evil against you falsely because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven; that is how they persecuted the prophets who came before you.
You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by people.
No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket; they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
Truly I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not one letter, not one stroke of a letter, will pass from the Law until everything is accomplished.
So whoever sets aside one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder,' and 'Whoever murders will be liable to judgment.'
But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever says to his brother, 'Raca,' will be liable to the council; and whoever says, 'You fool,' will be liable to the fire of hell.[^1] [^1]: *Raca* is an Aramaic term of contempt, roughly 'empty-head' or 'good-for-nothing.'
So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you,
leave your gift there before the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
Settle matters quickly with your accuser while you are still on the way with him, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you will be thrown into prison.
Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.'
But I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into hell.
And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body go into hell.
It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the grounds of sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Again, you have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not swear falsely, but you shall fulfill to the Lord the oaths you have sworn.'
But I tell you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne;
nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make a single hair white or black.
Let your word be 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'
But I tell you, do not resist the one who is evil. If anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, let him have your coat as well.
If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two.
Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
so that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
You, therefore, are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
