(Matthew 4:24 - 5:12)
ISAIAH : (Reading) He travelled throughout Galilee, teaching in the
synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing
every kind of illness and infirmity among the people. His fame spread
throughout Syria; and they brought to him sufferers from various
diseases, those racked with pain or possessed by demons, those who
were epileptic or paralysed, and he healed them all. Large crowds
followed him, from Galilee and the Decapolis, from Jerusalem and
Judea, and from Transjordan. When he saw the crowds he went up a
mountain. There he sat down, and when his disciples had gathered
round him he began to address them.
And this is the teaching he gave:
JESUS : (Standing) Blessed are the poor in spirit; the kingdom of
Heaven is theirs.
Blessed are the sorrowful; they shall find consolation.
Blessed are the gentle; they shall have the earth for their possession.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst to see right prevail; they
shall be satisfied.
Blessed are those who show mercy; mercy shall be shown to them.
Blessed are those whose hearts are pure; they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers; they shall be called God's children.
Blessed are those who are persecuted in the cause of right; the kingdom
of Heaven is theirs.
Blessed are you when you suffer insults and persecution and calumnies
of every kind for my sake. Exalt and be glad, for you have a rich
reward in Heaven.
(DISCIPLE 1 breaks away from the group as the music segues.)
