24 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond Jordan.
Matthew 5 Intro: The commencement of Christ's teaching on the Mount.
1 And Jesus, seeing the multitudes, went up into a mountain; and when he was set down, his disciples came unto him;
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are they who shall believe on me; and again, more blessed are they who shall believe on your words, when ye shall testify that ye have seen me and that I am.
4 Yea, blessed are they who shall believe on your words, and come down into the depth of humility, and be baptized in my name; for they shall be visited with fire and the Holy Ghost, and shall receive a remission of their sins.
5 Yea, blessed are the poor in spirit, who come unto me; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
6 And again, blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.
7 And blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth.
8 And blessed are all they that do hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled with the Holy Ghost.
9 And blessed are the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy.
