The Beatitudes

Tyndale New Testament

Mat 5:1–12

1 When he sawe the people he went vp into a mountayne and when he was set his disciples came to hym
2 and he opened hys mouthe and taught them sayinge:
3 Blessed are the povre in sprete: for theirs is the kyngdome of heven.
4 Blessed are they that morne: for they shalbe conforted.
5 Blessed are the meke: for they shall inheret the erth.
6 Blessed are they which honger and thurst for rightewesnes: for they shalbe filled.
7 Blessed are the mercifull: for they shall obteyne mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in herte: for they shall se God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shalbe called the chyldren of God.
10 Blessed are they which suffre persecucion for rightwesnes sake: for theirs ys the kyngdome of heuen.
11 Blessed are ye when men reuyle you and persecute you and shall falsly say all manner of yvell saynges agaynst you for my sake.
12 Reioyce and be glad for greate is youre rewarde in heven. For so persecuted they the Prophetes which were before youre dayes.

20 And he lifted vp his eyes apon the disciples and sayde: Blessed be the poore: for yours is the kyngdome of God.
21 Blessed are ye that honger now: for ye shalbe satisfied.
22 Blessed are ye that wepe now: for ye shall laugh. Blessed are ye when men hate you and thrust you oute of their companye and rayle and abhorre youre name as an evyll thinge for the sonne of manes sake.
23 Reioyse ye then and be gladde: for beholde youre rewarde is greate in heven. After this manner their fathers entreated the Prophetes.
