THE WORDS OF THE CHRIST ST. MATTHEW Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. I Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Follow me, and I will make fishers of men. you Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. |
