And He Opened His Mouth and Taught Them, by Michael Malm
Seeing the multitudes, Jesus went up onto a mountain with His disciples.
“And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:2–3).
This is the first of nine verses known as the Beatitudes. This event became known as the Sermon on the Mount, found in Matthew chapters 5–7.
