Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Land, Its Lord, and Sacred Lore: The Story Told in Verse of the Life of the Lord Jesus, the Land Where He Lived, His Precepts, Parables, and Signs of His Authority, as Studied in Jerusalem Pilgrimages of the Twentieth Century
Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst after righteous ness for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in Heaven For so persecuted they the prophets that were before you. - Matt. V.
