24 - Jesus’ fame had spread throughout all of Syria, so they brought to him all the sick and afflicted with various diseases and pains, those oppressed by demons, those having seizures, and paralytics, and he healed them all. 25 Great crowds were following him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan. 5 And seeing the crowds, he sat down at the side of the mountain, and his disciples and followers came to hear him. 2 And he taught them, saying: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit (humble) the kingdom of heaven is theirs. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those hungering and thirsting for righteousness [dikaiosuné - righteousness, justice, quality of being right and just] they will be satisfied. 7 Blessed are the merciful, they will receive mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers {noT adversarial} for they will be called sons and daughters of God.” [Huios - sons - quote biblehub dot com - “the New Testament expands this {greek} word to include all believers as sons of God through faith in Jesus Christ, emphasizing spiritual - inheritance - and identity; equally refers to female believers (Gal 3:28).] 10 “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. 11 Blessed are you when others insult you, treat you badly, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you, falsely, on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great, for so did they persecute the prophets who were before you.” {And they were not Perfect either.}
