The beatitudes are listed in Matthew and Luke as follows:
In Matthew:
- The poor in spirit; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- Mourners; they will be comforted.
- Those that hunger and thirst after righteousness; they will be filled.
- Those persecuted for seeking righteousness; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- The meek; they will inherit the earth.
- The merciful; they will obtain mercy.
- The pure of heart; they will "see God".
- The peacemakers; they will be called "the sons of God".
In Luke:
- The poor; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- "Those who are weeping"; they "will laugh".
- The hungry; they will be satisfied.
- Followers of the Son of Man; theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
The first four beatitudes in Matthew have parallels in Luke, with some notable differences. Both authors are believed to have copied these from the hypothetical 'Q' document. In their use of Q, Luke is usually considered to be more faithful to the original than was Matthew, but there are exceptions.
When Matthew says "Blessed are the poor in spirit", Luke says simply "blessed are the poor", reflecting the author's ascetic view, with its frequent references to concern for the poor. In this case, Matthew could be closer to the original in Q. Similarly, Matthew has the more spiritual "Those that hunger and thirst after righteousness", but Luke once again records this as favouring the very poor, saying simply "the hungry".
The second four in Matthew have no direct parallel in Luke, but may be found in other sources. For example, Matthew's beatitude for the meek is likely to have been inspired by Psalm 37:11, especially given the author's frequent use of material from the Old Testament throughout the Gospel.

Where were the beatitudes delivered from?
The site is near the Sea of Galilee, probably close to Capernaum where Jesus delivered the "Sermon on the Mount".AnswerThere are eight beatitudes to be found in Matthew and four of these are in Luke, although with some differences. Matthew says that Jesus was on a mountain near Galilee, and that the beatitudes formed part of the Sermon on the Mount. Luke says that Jesus was on a plain near Galilee, and that the beatitudes formed part of the Sermon on the Plain. The reason both for the similarities and the differences is that the four beatitudes common to both gospels are believed to have been copied from the hypothetical 'Q' document, a book of sayings attributed to Jesus, but Q does not provide any context for those sayings (the remaining four beatitudes in Matthew can be found in various earlier sources). Matthew chose to provide his context on a mountain, while Luke chose to provide his on a plain.
