In Christianity, the Beatitudes (from Latin beatus, meaning "blessed" or "happy") are blessings from the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew and the Sermon on the Plain in Luke. The blessings in Luke refer to external situations while those in Matthew refer more to spiritual or moral qualities. The beatitudes present in Matthew and Luke are: * The poor (Matthew has "poor in spirit"). The text says that theirs is the kingdom of heaven. * Mourners (Luke has "those who are weeping"). The text says that they will be comforted (Luke has "will laugh"). * The hungry (Matthew has "hunger and thirst after righteousness"). The text says that they will be filled(Luke has "be satisfied"). * Those persecuted for seeking righteousness (rather than righteousness, Luke has "followers of the Son of Man"). The text says that theirs is the kingdom of heaven. The beatitudes only present in Matthew are: * The meek. The text says that they will "inherit the earth". * The merciful. The text says that they will "obtain mercy". * The pure of heart . The text says that they will "see God". * The peacemakers. The text says that they will be called "the sons of God".
A beatitude is a supreme blessing, such as the blessings listed by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Those can be found in Matthew 5:3-11 in the King James version of The Bible.
