Description
The Beatitudes are eight blessings delivered by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew. Each is a proverb-like proclamation, without narrative. Four of the blessings also appear in the Sermon on the Plain in the Gospel of Luke.
In the Vulgate, each of these blessings begins with the word beati, which translates to "happy", "rich", or "blessed". The corresponding word in the original Greek is μακάριοι, with the same meanings. The Beatitudes unique to Matthew are the meek, the merciful, the pure of heart, and the peacemakers. The other four have similar entries in Luke. The term "poor in spirit" is unique to Matthew.
