1. Matthew 5:1-11 Luke 6:17-26
1 When Jesus saw the crowds, 17 He came down with them
he went up the mountain; and stood on a level place,
with a great crowd of his disciples
and a great multitude of people
from Judea, all Judea, Jerusalem
and the coast of Tyre and Sidon.
18They had come to hear him
and to be healed from their diseases;
and those who were troubled
with unclean spirits were cured.
19 And all in the crowd were trying to
touch him, for power came out from him
and he healed all of them.

his disciples came to him. 20 Then he looked up at his disciples
