God blesses those who are humble,

for they will inherit the whole earth.

God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice,

for they will be satisfied.

for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

along the shore of the Sea of Galilee,

“Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!”

Repent of your sins

and turn to God,

for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.

“He will be called a Nazarene.”
